A well-preserved ivory label: restored from three fragments, with a hole for attachment at the top right-hand corner. The two lower corners have been cut off at an angle. On the front surface is an incised scene showing the king Den with an upraised mace, about to strike a captive. The king's name is written before him, in the centre of the top of the label. On the right is the standard of Wepwawet and an inscription. Behind the figure of the king are three signs. The reverse side of the label bears an incised picture of a pair of sandals, indicating the type of object to which the label was attached.
