Part of a jar sealing of brown clay, bearing the impression of a seal rolled across the surface. There are impressions of eight serekhs containing the name of Den, impression of  fibre on interior  (string or cloth) with a piece of fibre prerserved in the mud. Burnt all over except for one flat side. Marked 'T' in ink by the excavator indicating Tomb T, Petrie's 'Tomb of Den-Setui'.

The Royal Tombs of the Earliest Dynasties. 1901. Part II pl. XVIII [136].

Burning would seem to be modern: 1960s catalogue card says "charred in fire, May 1941", and Newberry's record card made before 1920 describes it as being "yellowish clay" with no mention of being burnt.
