一块棕色滑石石碑,或魔法石碑,上面是儿童荷鲁斯,一缕长长的青年发绺延伸到他的右肩,从背景中浮雕而出,左腿向前迈进,头部正对着观众。在他上方是贝斯的头,贝斯是具有狮子特征的矮人神,传统上保护家庭,但此时已成为更普遍的保护神。为了象征他的魔力,荷鲁斯站在两条相对的鳄鱼身上,每条鳄鱼的鳞片尾巴延伸到边缘,每只手握着两条蛇,左手还握着一只狮子,右手握着一只蝎子和一只豺狼。背面、侧面和底部,事实上,每一个可用的表面都刻有象形文字铭文,其中包含魔法咒语,以防止有毒的咬伤和伤口,并治疗由它们引起的疾病。
只要念诵正确的咒语,石碑主人、牧师或医生就会将液体倒在石碑上,石碑上就会充满咒语和图像的力量。想要治愈或保护自己免受毒伤的人可以喝下这种液体或将其倒在自己身上。石碑的大小和状况表明这块石碑经常被使用,表明石碑的主人是牧师或医生。
