MORE ON THE NEW HEBREW SEAL IMPRESSION found in the Temple Mount rubble. Reader Menachem Brody points me to this Ha'aretz article in Hebrew (לראשונה: ממצא כתו מבית ראשון התגלה בהר הבית), which has a photo of the object and which reports that the impression comes from the "dynasty of David" (בית דוד), not the time of David and is "more than 2500 years old." The surviving fragment (looks like about half the impression) is less than centimeter in size and has three lines of writing. One name on it ends in "-yahu" (יהו-).
