Findspots:
Nine examples as well as # 196 which also belongs to this Amunhotep were reported by Gauthier to have been from Dra Abul Naga. He suggested that this cone had belonged to A. 7 (Gauthier 1908 [BIFAO 6]: 126). However, it is doubtful whether # 196 actually included among them (see Vivó 2019: 36).
Unknown examples from the southern Dra Abul Naga (Northampton etc. 1908: 4, Pls. 2, 24. Exact location unknown. cf. Delgado 2005 [BAEDE 15]: 92).
One from TT 11-12 area (Galán and Borrego 2006 [Memnonia 17]: 208).
One from the Valley of the Kings (Dorn and Paulin-Grothe 2009 [GM 222]: 11; Vivó 2019: 36, 45 n. 57).
A corner brick has been seen at Deir el-Medina (01-093 in Davies's notebook and 04-083 in Macadam's Green file).
Remarks:
One brick is held in a private collection in south Texas (Van Siclen and Ryan 1991 [VA (7(1))]: 45).
Van Siclen and Ryan suggested that the ascribed owner may be identical to that of # 354 (Van Siclen and Ryan 1991 [VA (7(1))]: 45).
A mummy case without a lid is in the Victoria Museum för Egyptiska Fornsaker in Uppsala (Inv. # 151. Lugn 1922: 31, Taf. XXII 30). Mummy masks of Amunhotep and his wife Mutresti (MMA: 30.8.69 and MMA: 30.8.68 respectively), as well as two papyri fragments (MMA: 30.8.70a and MMA: 30.8.70b) are kept in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Another mummy mask of him is housed in the Eton College, Durham (ECM 1876. Reeves 1999: 24). Fragments of papyri are in the British Museum (EA 10489), in Stockholm (Peterson 1967), and so on. For further details see here. Four canopic jars are in Chicago (OIM 92.36-9. Allen 1923: 19-20). The other objects of Amunhotep are outlined in Reeves 2013.
