Papyrus sheet, broken off at the top and right, with damage along the horizontal folds. A thin strip of papyrus was glued diagonally onto the upper part of the front-side. Writing is along the fibres on the front and across them on the back. The back was rotated 180 degrees and bears the beginning of three lines in the right edge. On the front there are portions of 19 lines, the first being very mutilated; of the others, only the beginnings survive. Part of the text was crossed out. The last five lines are in demotic. Left and lower margins survive. A sheet-join running along the height of the sheet is visible in the left edge of the front. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
