This is a rather crudely manufactured scarab. On its back, the clypeus is engraved in shale, surrounded by remains of a blue green enamel paste. The prothorax and elytra are carved in the enamel. Small vertical incisions were made on the left side in order to create legs, now barely visible. On the reverse side, there are several prophylactic signs of unknown significance. The sides, most particularly the right side, were repolished as a result of which all the  incisions have disappeared. The suspension hole pierces the scarab longitudinally.

Il s'agit d'un scarabée de facture assez grossière. Sur le dos, le clypeus est marqué dans le schiste et est entouré des restes de pâte émaillée bleu vert. Le prothorax et les élytres sont dessinés dans l'émail. Les pattes n'apparaissent que très légèrement sur le côté gauche au moyen de petites incisions verticales. Sur le revers, on note plusieurs signes prophylactiques, de signification indéterminée. Les côtés, plus particulièrement le côté droit, ont été repolis et toute incision a disparu. Le trou de suspension traverse longitudinalement le scarabée.
