Findspots:
14 from Dra Abul Naga (Gauthier 1908 [BIFAO 6]: 124).
Unknown examples from southern Dra Abul Naga (Northampton etc. 1908: 4, Pls. 2, 25. Exact location unknown. cf. Delgado 2005 [BAEDE 15]: 92).
Each one from TT 378 and near TT 18 (01-021 in Davies's notebook, 03-082 in Macadam's Red file).
Two from Armant (Drower and Myers 1940: Vol. 1 p. 101).
One brick from TT 149 (Kampp 1996: 437).
One from the bottom of the hill to the north of the ghaffirs' hut at Dra Abul Naga (Ockinga 2003 [RFEA / N 86]: 2).
Three from the Valley of the Kings (Dorn and Paulin-Grothe 2009 [GM 222]: 11).
Five from the 'Areal A' in Dra Abul Naga (Kruck 2012: 106).
One from TT 47 area (Kondo 2017, October 29. According to Kondo et al. 2016 November, however, two examples).
Remarks:
Davies (?) once had three bricks and Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung also has one (or several) examples (01-021 in Davies's notebook and 03-082 in Macadam's Red file).
Because she found a brick among the collapsed bricks in the courtyard of TT 149, Kampp pointed out the possibility that our cone had once belonged to the first owner of TT 149 (Kampp 1996: 437).
Senmose, who appears on the wall of TT 147, could be the same individual whose name is inscribed on our cone (Ockinga 2003 [RFEA / N 86]: 2). Also, he is depicted in a fragment of the wall painting from Heby's tomb (Mekhitarian 1985: 241, Pl. Vb).
Heby was the father of TT 55 Ramose (cf. Helck 1958: 302-303).
