Findspots:

• Unknown examples from Qurna and Khokhah (Mond 1905 [ASAE 6]: 91, 95).

• Six from below TT 121 (01-054 in Davies's notebook and 03-036 in Macadam's Red file).

• One example preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art was from near TT 103 (28.3.29).

• One from the shaft in the court of TT 68 (Seyfried 1991: 93).

Remarks: 

• According to Davies, the seal has a crack, so it is made of wood or something (01-054 in Davies's notebook and 03-036 in Macadam's Red file).

• Daressy and Roeder illustrate the possible variant of this cone with different signs in the first column (Daressy 1893: 299; Roeder 1924: 302). I have seen the one described by Roeder, but the face of the cone was so damaged that I could not see the signs he wrote.

• Vivó insists that # 98 and # 159 also belonged to our Heqaerneheh (Vivó 2022: 244-246). 

• See also 05-111 in his DALEX file 1, and 06-054, 055, 088, 089, 090, 102, & 110 in his DALEX file 2.
