Description by Michael Welch:  #19 One-half jar handle with a small amount of jar pottery on the bottom.  Potter's smudged fingerprint and wheelmarks remain on the bottom of the jar pottery.  A possible potter's finger imprint remains on the inside of the handle at its base.  Pottery color is brownish with a pinkish color showing through where chipped, white grits are throughout, and a black core.  Possible smudged Royal Official's fingerprint remains near the seal impression.  A few fingernail or seal chain or seal holder impressions remain on the edge near the seal impression.  Bears a H2D type impression.  Out of LMLK on the top, most of the second Lamed and part of the Kaph remain.  Out of HBRN on the bottom, most of the Beth, Resh, and Nun remain.  About two-thirds to three-fourths of the two-winged emblem remains, with a couple of traces of the rays of the sun on the bottom.
