Long, thin scribal palette with recess for holding brushes and rectangular inkwell, with possible traces of ink that have hardened and cracked. A rectangular 'mortise' can be seen on the right side of the object. An inscription in hieratic is visible, written between the two rectangular recesses, and carries down in two columns on either side of the last recess. There is slight damage near the bottom end of the palette.
