Note: This impression from may indicate a unique S2x seal type since it appears to have the first letter of SUKE both above & below the wing on the right side. Also compare to Gibeon stamp field # 413; stamp # 150; museum ID# 60-13-115. A similar one excavated from Lachish was described (but not photographed) by David Diringer in PEQ 7-1941 published by The Palestine Exploration Fund, "... a very interesting stamp (K.14/J.14, Pal.A.G.) which also belongs to the third sub-division. Owing to the shape of the handle, the stamp has been badly impressed, particularly in the lower part, in such a way that there is lack of space for the place-name. It seems that the maker desired to solve this problem by an artifice, & tried to impress the place-name over the figure; if this suggestion is right, the traces which we see in the figure would be the remains of a shin & of the head of a waw ..."
