Description by Michael Welch:  #41 One-third handle.  Pottery color is pinkish red with white grits throughout.  Bears a Z2D double stamped impression.  This impression has an interesting X cut through the center of the two-winged emblem, perhaps to cancel out the King's ownership, or perhaps it was done by the Assyrian army.  Out of LMLK on the top, traces of the Mem and the Kaph remain.  Out of ZP on the bottom, traces of the Zayin remain.  Around seven-eighths of the two-winged emblem remains.
