Description by Michael Welch:  #65 One-half to two-thirds handle with a small part of jar pottery remaining on the bottom.  Pottery color is pinkish red-brick with white grits throughout, and a black core.  Bears a S4L type double stamped impression.  Out of LMLK on the top, only a very small trace of the initial Lamed and the Kaph remain.  Out of SUKH on the bottom, the Shin is clear and the head of the Kaph remains.  There may be a trace of the He.  Around two-thirds to three-fourths of the four-winged scarab remains.  There are some fine, right to left, left to right, striations running across the seal, and a little above the seal.  Perhaps they were caused by a garment and or fingernails of the Royal Official doing the sealing.
