General Notes
Wooden object. Reading and meaning uncertain. This is likely not a stamp because the text of an impression would be inverted. Sometimes stamps with such inversion errors are known, but not from Elephantine, and none look quite like this. 
Held in the ÄM Kleinfunde Schrank 049 - o / 11 but I was unable to access the object during my time in Berlin. For this reason, no photographs of the object are known (Moore).
