Darstellung:

 Within an oval frame is a decorative scene in three zones: In the upper zone is a beetle with outstreched wings (Keel 1995: § 517), in the central zone are three figures, most probably the Memphite Triad -the god Ptah is on the left, his consort Sekhmet is on the right, holding a papyrus scepter in her hand (cf. Vercoutter 1945: 111 No. 66-68; Hölbl 1979: II Taf. 104,770), and their son Nefertem is in the center (cf. however, Clerc/Karageorghis/Lagarce/Leclant 1976: 104 No. 1060). In the lower zone is a nb sign serving as an exergue.
