Anthropomorphic sarcophagus composed of a tank and its lid with a black background. The figure is wearing a black tripartite wig and is adorned with a large Ousekh necklace striated at the back and decorated with a winged scarab in the center. Protective genii and Anubis frame a text in hieroglyphic characters on three columns. The back side is inscribed with a two-column text, flanked on the sides by a column of seven square pictures representing funerary genii. The meaningless text, however, reveals an excerpt from the classical formula "Osiris who presides over the West. The interior is not painted.
