Description by Michael Welch:  #85 One-third jar handle with a small amount of jar pottery remaining on the bottom. Some potter's finger indentations appear at the inside of the handle and some potter's wheelmarks appear on the bottom of the jar pottery. Pottery color is pinkish red-brick with white grits throughout and a black core. Bears a type M2D impression. Out of LMLK on the top, a trace of the initial Lamed and most of the Mem remain. Out of MMST on the bottom, about half of the initial Mem, all of the second Mem, all of the Shin, and about half of the Tau remain. About two-thirds of the two-winged sun disc emblem remains. The center part is clear, and the top three rays of the sun and the bottom three rays of the sun are clear. Below the seal to the right is a set of complete incised after firing concentric circles.
