This sarcophagus features an elaborate polychrome decoration in terracotta. The four outer sides of the coffin have a hollowed-out central part, entirely enclosed by a terracotta cord. The upper edge of each side is concluded by a polychrome frame decorated with a meander, bordered at the top by a golden wave motif. The lid is singular: the larger sides and the top are hinged. The hinges are blocked on the three corners of the tympanum by three paterae decorated with a jellyfish head.

The two tympanums feature an elaborate decoration: against a light brown background with high relief and gilded floral motifs stands a painted terracotta mermaid with two large blue-green outstretched wings. The lower part of the mermaid's body has bird of prey legs and a long tail; the legs rest on drooping foliage, which seems to wander in the air together with the mermaid herself.

The goddess is formed by the combination of Isis and the scorpion goddess Selket. The identification comes from the covering formed by a throne (Isis) with the decoration of a scorpion (Selket). The goddess is kneeling just as Isis is kneeling in the presence of Osiris who died mourning him. An image of Osiris is on the goddess' knees. Isis and Selket were both guardians of the royal sarcophagus and canopic jars together with Nephthys and Neith
