Description: | Five lines of incised hieroglyphs on back.
Steatite cippus stela of 'Horus on the crocodiles'. This small, magical object represents the child-god Horus conquering dangerous animals: he holds snakes and scorpions in his hands, and he would have been standing on crocodiles at the bottom of the stela, which is broken off. Above his head is the face of the god Bes, a protective god with a lion-like mask.
On the back of the stela is a winged sun disc, a row of deities, and an inscription.
