Unknown examples probably from the 'Mond's magazine (= inner hall of TT 96. See Mond 1904 [ASAE 5]: 100)' (01-081 in Davies's notebook).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 132 and # 694/B.67.
Ramose's father was Heby who had # 15 (cf. Helck 1958: 302-303).
Davies stated that the owner may have been the husband of Merytptah who had # 617/A.06. (Davies 1941: 1). However, considering the symmetrical designs of the cones of other pairs, such as # 295 - # 309, # 298 - # 312, # 308 - # 340, # 572 - # 578, and # 644/B.17 - # 645/B.18, it is strange that our Merytptah had only one cone and the design is different from that of her husband. Davies's idea is not yet confirmed.
