This rectangular seal amulet takes the form of a fish on the backside. This seal type was especially popular during the 19-20th dynasty (Ramessid Period). The base shows a scene in which a cobby figure, with three plums on his head and a tail, drinks from a vase through a straw. It represents the dwarf god Bes.
