  We aimed to verify the nature and derive the basic parameters of the
symbiotic star candidate [JD2002] 11. For this purpose, we obtained and
analysed an X-Shooter spectrum of [JD2002] 11. We also used optical and
infrared photometry available for the object. Emission-line diagnostic ratios
are characteristic of a dusty type symbiotic star and reveal a two-component
nebula (low- and high-density). The spectral energy distribution is well fitted
with a two-component blackbody spectrum with the respective temperatures of
1150 K and 600 K. The total luminosity of $\rm 3000\,L_{\odot}$ is consistent
with the expected luminosity of a typical Mira star, embedded in an optically
thick dust shell. We conclude that [JD2002] 11 is the ninth symbiotic star in
total and only the second dusty type symbiotic star discovered in the Small
Magellanic Cloud.
