Description by Michael Welch:  #60 One-third handle with a very small amount of jar pottery on the bottom.  Jar pottery retains one of the clearest fingerprints of a potter on the bottom and some potter's wheelmarks.  Pottery color is brownish, with pinkish red-brick showing through where chipped, with white grits throughout, a black core, and some encrustation.  Bears a G2T type double or triple stamped impression.  Out of LMLK on the top, a trace of the initial Lamed remains, part of the Mem, and part of the Kaph remains.  Around two-thirds of the two-winged emblem remains.  An old black ink #24 from a previous collection remains on the bottom.
