Description by Michael Welch:  #62 Two-thirds handle with a small amount of jar pottery on the bottom.  Pottery color is dark brown with white grits throughout, and a black core.  The underside of the handle has a cement-like encrustation.  A few other places have some chalky limestone encrustation.  Bears a G2T type impression.  Out of LMLK on the top, there is a trace of the initial Lamed, part of the Mem, a trace of the second Lamed, and most all of the Kaph remain.  The impression is double stamped.  About three-fourths to seven-eighths of the two-winged emblem remains.  There are a few striations on one edge, and probably a finger indentation all towards the other broken end.  These were probably made by the Royal Official doing the sealing.
