One main surface has centrally positioned recess in form of Bes, standing, facing left, holding a drum/tambourine up in front of his face. Clear detail, although traces of white residue (of faience body material?) in recess. Two faint grooves extend from left edge of recess to outer edge of mould (possibly the impressions, left by cords attached to the 'master' to assist its removal.
