Description by Michael Welch:  #36 Two-thirds handle with a very small amount of jar pottery attached.  On the bottom of the jar pottery are a couple of smudged potter's fingerprints and some potter's wheelmarks.  Pottery color is brownish, with pinkish red-brick color showing through where chipped, and white grits throughout.  Bears possible a G2B type impression.  Around one-half to two-thirds of the two-winged emblem remains, along with most of the three rays of the sun on the top, and two of the rays of the sun on the bottom.  Part of the circle of the sun in the center also remains.  A small amount of added clay is towards the bottom on the impression side.  A black ink #18 from a previous collection is on the bottom.
