Small papyrus fragment from mummy cartonnage, presumably from a roll, written on one side along the fibres, with the back blank. It contains the endings of 4 lines, followed by little blank space; whether they come from the foot of a column is debated. No margin is preserved. The papyrus is mounted on paper in a glass case.
