Very worn ossuary has red wash, low feet, and a hole bored through its front side below the rim that may be a sign of a robbery attempted in antiquity. Height describes that of chest plus that of gabled lid with fingergrips. Lid is damaged and has ornamentation on its front side consisting of two metopes, each containing a zigzag semi-circle, within a zigzag frame. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of two metopes in a zigzag frame, each horizontally divided by a zigzag and containing a zigzag semi-circle in the upper region and a six-petalled rosette(?) within a zigzag circle in the lower region. Left and right sides of the chest are similar, but with a pyramid-capped, cube-shaped nefesh in the lower region, with a reticulate pattern overlaying the pyramid and further ornaments at its base. Uprights of frames continue on edges of lid. The semi-circles on the lid and front, left and right sides of the chest may represent the domed tombs constructed in the second century and first half of the third century CE. Inscription appears on the chest's back side. The reading of the name is corroborated by a bilingual inscription on an ossuary from Kh. Zif.
