Theoretical spectral energy distributions computed for a grid of hydrogen-deficient and carbon-rich model atmospheres have been compared with the observed infrared (1–2.5 μm) spectra of V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object) on 1997 April 21 and July 13. The comparison yields an effective temperature of Teff = 5500 ± 200 K for the April date and Teff = 5250 ± 200 K for July. The observed spectra are well fitted by Asplund et al. ([CITE]) abundances, except that the carbon abundance is higher by 0.3 dex. Hot dust produces significant excess continuum at the long wavelength ends of the 1997 spectra.
