The scene depicts the jackal-headed Anubis in armour, standing to left on a crocodile; also to left. Both arms raised and bent in elbow, the left hand holding a whip, right hand a trident. Above Anubis, two eight-pointed stars and a scorpion. Around the figure and in the free field: letters and charakteres including a pentagram and a star. Groundline. Slight chips on the edge of the stone. Traces of deposit inside the engravings. Parallel: The Campbell Bonner Magical gems database, CBd-2575
