Description by Michael Welch:  #67 Two-thirds handle with a small amount of jar pottery remaining on the bottom. Potter's smudged fingerprints and wheelmarks remain on the bottom. Pottery color is brownish orangish with mostly gray grits throughout, a few encrustations, and an orange core. Bears a S4L type impression. Out of LMLK on the top, all four letters remain and are clear. Out of SUKE on the bottom, part of the Shin and the head of the Waw remain. Around two-thirds to three-fourths of the four-winged scarab remains. Several smudged fingerprints and finger indentations were left by the Royal Official who sealed the impression. A few vertical striations also remain.
