D♭aug

D♭1F3A♯5

Two major thirds stacked. Symmetrical: every note can be heard as the root.

Written the other way round it is C♯aug — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it

D♭aug is D♭, F and A — 1, 3 and #5 counted from D♭.

The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is x4322x: 4 fingers, held at the 2nd fret.

None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.

2 strings stay silent.

The brass dots are D♭, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
