Description by Michael Welch:  #73 One-sixteenth handle. Pottery color is brownish pinkish red-brick with gray grits throughout. Bears a type M2U impression. Out of LMLK on top, part of the second Lamed and all of the Kaph remains. Out of MMST on the bottom, about one-quarter of the tau remains and possibly an exclamation point after it. On the bottom of the handle is a small smudged fingerprint. On the side of the handle on the top side of the seal appears to be a fingernail impression, probably made by the Royal Official doing the sealing. About one-fourth of the two-winged sun disc remains.
