Papyrus sheet, darkened in places, lacking the bottom left corner and with few holes, but well preserved as to the rest. White residue is visible on the back.
Writing runs on both sides: on the front there is one column of 29 lines written along the fibres. Margins are extant and minimal, with the exception of the left margin, which measures x mm.

The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
