Description by Michael Welch:  #45 Full handle with a medium amount of jar pottery on the bottom.  Pottery color is chocolate brown with white grits throughout.  Grass roots remnants remain throughout the handle, and the bottom jar pottery and edges of the handle are crumbling.  Bears a Z4CI type impression.  Out of LMLK on the top, all four letters remain and are pretty clear.  There seems to be an extra vestigial letter between the Mem and the second Lamed.  Out of ZYFH on the bottom, the only letter that remains is the upside down Yod.  About one-half to two-thirds of the four-winged realistic scarab remains.  The center part is very clear.
