A: On the left, an animal-headed god standing, facing right, holding a hieroglyph (maybe the sa-sign) in his right hand, wearing a headdress and a long kilt, his head topped with the solar disk. Opposite to him, the jackal-headed Anubis standing to left, also wearing a headdress and a long kilt, his left hand grabbing the same hieroglyph as the figure on the left. Both deities raise one of their hands to touch the was-scepter in the middle, decorated with palm branches. Above the scene: an eight-pointed star.
B: Insufficient information.
