[edit] Summary

I took this photo of ancient LMLK jar-handle stamps over modern Israel postage stamps on March 29th, 2006. To the best of my knowledge, it is the only such photo that has ever been taken of the actual artifacts beside the postage stamps that commemorate them. A lo-res version appears on the cover of The Israel Philatelist vol. 57, #3, June 2006, but the handles were uncredited, & the image is distorted such that you cannot discern the "ISR'AEL" philatelic error on one of the blue 20-mil stamps. The error is observable in this hi-res version I'm donating to Wikipedia.
