Findspots:
Unknown examples are said to have come from south of TT 49 (01-084 in Davies's notebook and 04-097 in Macadam's Green file).
Remarks:
There is only one musician of Amun who was called Hemetnetjer and she appears on the wall of TT 323 at Deir el-Medina. Unfortunately, the name of her husband is not written there (Bruyère 1925: 83).
Both Davies and Macadam point out the possibility of a forgery because the style of the inscriptions and the title are unusual and the body is very hard (01-084 in Davies's notebook and 04-097 in Macadam's Green file). This idea is possible because few Deir el-Medina tomb owners had cones and no excavation reports indicate that this cone was ever excavated.
