Four bricks from TT 63 (Lepsius 1849-1859 [LD III]: 261, Pl. 25bis. g).
15 (some of them cavetto type, and some of them fired) from TT 252 (01-033 in Davies's notebook and 03-069 in Macadam's Red file).
11 bricks from TT 103 (Davies 1913a: 31).
Unknown examples from the court of TT 103 (PM I, 2: 654).
One from near TT 71 (Dorman 1991: 78, Pl. 37c).
Remarks:
This seal impression may only stamped on the bricks, not on the cones. For more on the same type, see here.
# 84, # 88 # 94, # 111, # 120, and # 122 have vertical lines with the name of the owner at the bottom. Among them # 84, # 88, and # 120 are dated to the reign of Hatshepsut.
The owner was not the brother of the owner of TT 71 and TT 353 as well as cones # 84 and # 88, Senenmut.
It is possible that # 375 also belongs to Senmen.
