介绍（中）	这个看起来不寻常的护身符是简化的心脏和人头的组合。红色碧玉的心脏被描绘成一个扁平的椭圆形物体，前后表面略圆，底部尖。它没有侧面投影，这是从其他更自然地描绘器官的心脏护身符中知道的。顶部是一个小的红玉髓人头，它是单独制造的并附着在心脏上。脸部的细节，如鼻子、眼睛和嘴巴都被雕刻，但主要是由于护身符的小尺寸和材料的硬度，它们没有很好地定义。一顶由绿泥石制成的长条纹黑色假发隐藏了两部分之间的连接处。护身符在纬度上刺穿两次。顶部穿孔穿过头部，第二个穿孔位于护身符的下三分之一。这些穿孔可能是为了将护身符固定在木乃伊的绷带上。
介绍（英）	This unusual looking amulet is a combination of a simplified heart and a human head. The heart, of red jasper, is depicted as a flat, oval object with slightly rounded front and back surfaces and a pointed bottom. It does not have side projections, which are known from other heart amulets that depict the organ more naturalistically. At the top is a small, carnelian human head, which was manufactured separately and attached to the heart. Details of the face, such as the nose, eyes, and mouth are carved, but mainly due to the amulet’s small size and the hardness of the material, they are not well defined. A long, striated, black wig made out of chlorite conceals the junction between the two parts. The amulet is pierced twice latitudinally. The top piercing runs through the head, and a second is positioned in the lower third of the amulet. These piercings were possibly intended to fasten the amulet onto the bandages of a mummy.
