Amulet van steatiet in de vorm van een oedjat-oog. Het oedjat-oog werd dikwijls geassocieerd met het oog van Horus. Men meende dat het offeren van dit oog gelijk stond aan daadwerkelijke voedseloffers tijdens het dagelijkse ritueel. Het werd ook door de levenden gedragen. De bovenkant is doorboord zodat het amulet ook kon worden gedragen.
