The upper face of this scaraboid features a monkey in profile. The body, hairy, and the right hind leg occupy most of the surface. The right fore arm is bent, the hand on the knee, and is reduced to a thin line. In the same way, the head, although easily recognizable, is much reduced, which accentuates the disproportionate, but very elegant aspect of this representation. The reverse consists only of a spiral edge and the sign neb ("lord, all, each").

La face supérieure de ce scaraboïde représente un singe de profil. Le corps, velu, et la patte arrière droite occupent la plus grande partie de la surface. Le bras avant droit est plié, main sur le genou et réduit à une mince ligne. De même, la tête, bien que facilement reconnaissable, est très réduite, ce qui accentue l'aspect disproportionné, mais très élégant de cette représentation. Du plat ne subsiste qu'un bord de spirale et un signe neb ("seigneur, tout, chaque").
