Findspots:

• Unknown examples from or near TT 75 (01-126 in Davies's notebook and 04-016 in Macadam's Green file).

• One from TT 122  (Shirley 2010: 285-286. Note that Shirley herself thinks that the cone she had found belongs to TT 122 Amunemhat).

Remarks: 

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 417. Macadam, Eichler, and Vivó also suggest that # 162 may have come from the same tomb (04-016 in Macadam's Green file; Eichler 2000: 253; Vivó 2022: 247-249, 338 n. 121).

• It is evident that the manufacturer of # 136 and # 417 differed due to the distinct way of inscribing text. However, the content of the text is nearly identical. Amunhotep made two cones, mentioning Anubis and Osiris on each cone respectively. Alternatively, it could be suggested that # 136 was mis-inscribed by one manufacturer due to the abnormal phrase 'jmAxy xr jnpw'. Subsequently, Amunhotep may have placed an order with another manufacturer for a replacement cone, # 417. However, the true reason for him having two different cones and the sequence of their creation remains unknown.
