Description by Michael Welch:  #47 One-half to two-thirds handle.  Pottery color is brownish pink.  Bears a possible Z2D type impression.  No letters remain on top out of LMLK.  Out of ZP on the bottom, there appears to be most of the Pe.  The two-winged emblem has some sort of chevron pattern in the center, which is unusual, but it is probably extra clay from a ridge.  There is about two-thirds of the two-winged emblem remaining with at least part of one ray of the sun remaining on the bottom.  The top of the emblem appears to be smudged, and not far away is a small smudge.  This all probably was caused by the Royal Official who was stamping the impression.  There is an old black ink #14 from a previous collection on the bottom.
