The oval-shaped stamp seal was made of green Egyptian faience. The obverse is decorated with two falcon-headed gods facing to the right. On similar stamps or amulets, the two gods appear to be holding hands. The left figure, wearing the double crown of the unified Egypt may refer to Horus or Montu, the right figure is probably the sun god Re. Similar stamp seals were popular during the New Kingdom (ca. 1539–1077 BC) and the Third Intermediate Period (ca. 1076–723 BC). The back handle is decorated with an indication of gathered lines, “bound” at the centre, where the object is perforated.
