Unknown examples from below TT 11 (Chassinat 1910 [BIFAO 7]: 159).
Unknown examples from the southern Dra Abul Naga (Northampton etc. 1908: 4, Pls. 2, 24. Exact location unknown. cf. Delgado 2005 [BAEDE 15]: 92).
35 from the TT 11–12 area (Galán and Borrego 2006 [Memnonia 17]: 204).
Remarks:
According to the drawings on Gauthier 1916 [BIFAO 12]: 131, Davies_cone_039_2 & 3 below, and Galán and Borrego 2006: Pl. 36, there is a t-sign under the mr (N 36) in the third line.
Davies attributes this cone to the early 18th Dynasty (01-008 in Davies's notebook).
According to Borchardt et al., Jd'E 58292 in the EMC is a "rundköpfige Friesziegel", a funerary cone whose body has a square cross-section but with a rounded head (Borchardt, Königsberger, and Ricke 1934 [ZÄS 70]: 33).
From the inscription style, it can be reasonably concluded that # 18 and # 112 were created by the same individual and that they were created at the same time. However, the design of # 360 differs from that of the two aforementioned cones, indicating that it was created by a different individual. However, it is unclear whether # 360 was created before or after # 18 and # 112.
It remains unclear whether the Ahmose and Ahhotep mentioned on this cone were related to Ahmose I, the founder of the 18th Dynasty, and his mother, Ahhotep, or whether the similarities in their names were merely coincidental.
