Avigad’s reading of the pomegranate inscription. This drawing shows the paleo-Hebrew letters as they appear around the shoulder when viewed from above; heavy, solid lines indicate visible letters and parts of letters, while outlined letters stand for Avigad’s proposed restoration of missing portions. For reference, the equivalent modern Hebrew letter and its transliteration have been placed below each paleo-Hebrew letter.
