Remarks:
Davies dates this cone to the early 18th Dynasty (01-008 in Davies's notebook).
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.
