Jar handle with seal impression

[a]

Hi,

This is red clay jar handle has round seal impression with pellets border and unknown image and might be inscription. I can't find anything similar on the web and have no clue about the period: Judean, Hellenistic, Roman?

The seal diameter is 27mm

The handle size is 111mmx60mm

Please help me to get some direction for my search.

Best Regards,

Google "stamped amphora handle" and "amphora handle seal impression".  There should be a lot out there.  For example there are 150 papers on academia.edu between those two headings.

Much of what I have seen is about seals comprised of writing.  Those with a head or design like yours seem rarer.

Thank you Shawn.

Indeed, there are lot of articled about stamped handles on academia.edu. I think I reviewed all of them. Still don't sure about this one - not period and not the figure appearing on it. I'm focusing on those with round stamp with clear pellets border.
What do you think about this? Seems like Hellenistic?

Hi explorer, the seal it self is a little bit worn, I have a few stamped handles, some I could identify the sealing  and some not, From the style of the handle compared with what I identified as Hellenistic I suppose that this handle is Hellenistic indeed.
