Description by Michael Welch:  #86 One-fourth jar handle with a very small amount of jar pottery remaining on the bottom. Pottery color is pinkish red-brick with white grits throughout, and a black core. Bears a type M2D impression. Out of LMLK on the top, no letters remain. Out of MMST on the bottom, the second Mem is pretty clear, the Shin and half of the Tau are also clear. About one-fourth of the two-winged sun disc emblem remains. A finger impression on the inside of the handle, probably made by the potter, remains. On the front base of the handle, two wet smudged fingerprints, probably made by the Royal Official doing the sealing, remain.
