Bussmann notes that this sealing 'can be classified as design class 6B1-2 in Tufnell's/Ben-Tor's typology, a design originating in the early Middle Kingdom and continuing into the Second Intermediate Period' (p. 322). Therefore 'Old Kingdom' has been removed from the Period field and the field updated accordingly.
