介绍（中）	这个非常小的cippus不寻常地由铜质金属制成。前场景显示孩子荷鲁斯站在鳄鱼上，左边抱着一条蛇和一只羚羊，右边抱着一只狮子和一只蝎子。在西普斯的顶部是一个贝斯头。背面是上部的登记册，描绘了一只站在羚羊上的猎鹰，戴着阿特夫王冠的透特坐着，还有一个坐着的女神和神。下面是五行铭文，给出了一个熟悉魔法石碑的咒语："欢迎上帝的神子，欢迎继承人的儿子，欢迎由上帝的身体所生的舵手的儿子，欢迎伊西斯所生的奥西里斯带来的荷鲁斯......" 标志有些乱码，在石碑的侧面实际上没有明显的意义。似乎这样一个小石碑很可能被用作护身符来保护它的魔法，而不是用来传授它的魔力，浇在它上面喝的水。顶部的粗糙度可能是附件的痕迹。值得注意的是，浮雕数字模糊不清，部分可能是因为石碑图像被摩擦了。
介绍（英）	This very small cippus is, unusually, made of cupreous metal. The front scene shows the child Horus standing on crocodiles and holding a snake and an oryx on the left and a lion and a scorpion on the right. At the top of the cippus is a Bes-head. On the reverse is an upper register depicting a falcon standing on an oryx, Thoth seated wearing the atef crown, and a seated goddess and god. Below that are five lines of inscription giving a spell familiar from magical stelae: "welcome god son of god, welcome heir son of the heir, welcome steer son of the steer born of the body of god, welcome Horus brought forth by Osiris whom Isis bore......" The signs are somewhat garbled, and on the sides of the stela actually make no obvious sense. It seems likely such a small stela was used like an amulet for its magical protection rather than being used to impart its magic to water poured over it for drinking. A roughness at the top could be the trace of an attachment. It is noticeable that the relief figures are indistinct, possibly partly because the stela image was rubbed.
