Queen Jezebel's Seal?

Jim West has the story and so does Haaretz. Jim's post also has a picture. Let's wait until we see Marjo Korpel's actual article before we get too excited. But it does should interesting.

Update, October 11, 2007:
Back in September, Jan Pieter van de Giessen of Aantekeningen bij de Bijbel did a great post on this seal and Marjo Korpel's study. One of his pictures, the one near the end of his post, shows exactly how to read "belonging to Jezebel" on the seal. Well, you do need to reconstruct the preposition and the first letter of Jezebel's name.

Update: October 12, 2007:
Chris Heard has an important new extended discussion that anyone interesting in this topic should read.
