A vertical green-glazed steatite block features a carved figure in profile facing right. Wearing a disk headpiece and holding a tall staff, the figure is framed by a checkered border of green and off-white squares. Deep teal and black recesses contrast with raised, off-white surfaces. A circular hole pierces the top. The composition uses a triangular torso and rectangular limbs to define the deity-like figure and its throne.
