This is a very well rendered scarab, its reverse unfortunately damaged. The head is represented schematically, the elytra are well indicated and the incisions delineating the legs significant. A royal titulary is clearly carved on the flat surface: it mentions King Thutmosis III - Menkheperre in a cartouche topped with Nsw-bity (''the king of Upper and Lower Egypt''). A suspension hole pierces the object longitudinally. The date of the tomb is based on its proximity to the Hathor sanctuary to the south and the ''temple'' to the east-south-east.

Il s'agit d'un scarabée très bien dessiné, mais malheureusement abîmé sur sa face inférieure. La tête est relativement schématisée, les élytres sont bien marquées et les incisions pour révéler les pattes sont importantes. Sur le plat, une titulature royale est clairement gravée: elle mentionne le roi Thoutmosis III - Menkheperrê dans un cartouche, surmonté de Nsw-bity ("Le roi de Haute et Basse &Eacute;gypte"). Un trou de suspension traverse longitudinalement l'objet. La datation de la tombe vient de sa proximité avec le sanctuaire d'Hathor au sud et le "temple" à l'est-sud-est.
