A: Lion-headed Chnoubis, to left, with human torso and snake’s leg, in armour, holding a sword in his right hand and a palm branch in his left hand. Nimbus and seven double rays around the head. The stone is shaped as an irregular circle, the surface of the obverse does not constitute a regular arch either. There is a thin suspension hole bored through the gem above the head of Chnoubis.
B: Inscription in two lines, running at right angles in relation to the decoration of the obverse: αζαζαρ|αθβαχυ. Short stroke below χ, perhaps the beginning of the final χ of βαχυχ (Bonner). Voces including: Ἀράθ, βαχυχ.
