Description by Michael Welch:  #53 About one-half handle.  Pottery color is pinkish red with little or no grits showing.  Bears a Z2U type impression.  Out of LMLK on the top, most of the initial Lamed, part of the Mem, most of the second Lamed, and the head of the Kaph remain.  Out of ZYF on the bottom, the Zayin is clear and most of the Yod and the head of the Pe remain.  The handle appears to be pulled clay when made, which seems to be a characteristic of most ZYFH type handles.  The bottom part of the two-winged emblem seems to be about one-half again wider than the other emblems.  About one-half of the two-winged emblem remains.
