Physical description
A small, domed scarab on a low pedestal. The head is cut in a triangular fashion with the eyes as small squares on either side. No body divisions are indicated except for two small nicks on either side of the back where the line between the elytra and prothorax would have been. The legs are shown as a band of varying width around the side with roughly incised marks. The underside is decorated with a central Hathor-headed sistrum, flanked by two uraeii. Perforated lengthwise.
