This scaraboid is pierced longitudinally, thus allowing for its suspension. The front is stylised and in the likeness of an extremely hard to identify insect -- possibly a fly. The wings are recognisable, but the other elements of the insect are not clearly identifiable. There is a hieroglyphic inscription on the reverse, and according to J. Vercoutter, it should be understood as ''Given by Re''.

Ce scaraboïde est percé longitudinalement pour permettre sa suspension. Son recto, stylisé, est à l'image d'un insecte difficilement identifiable, peut-être une mouche. Les deux ailes sont bien reconnaissables, mais les autres éléments de l'insecte ne peuvent être clairement identifiés. Au verso, une inscription hiéroglyphique devrait, selon J. Vercoutter, être comprise comme signifiant "Donné de Rê".
