Findspots:
Nine examples, including # 185 from the same owner, were said to have been unearthed at Dra Abul Naga (Gauthier 1908 [BIFAO 6]: 126), but it is doubtful whether our # 196 was actually among them (see Vivó 2019: 36).
Five examples were said to have been unearthed at the Valley of the Kings (Dorn and Paulin-Grothe 2009 [GM 222]: 11), but the four of them were actually # 192 and the one could be # 185 (Vivó 2019: 36, 45 n. 57).
Remarks:
Davies remarks that “Gauthier found 9 cones of this man near a tomb of an AP (?) with a different wife on the E. slope of D. A. N. & suggests that this is the man. But he does not say if the cones belong to 132 (= D. & M. # 196) or 133 (= D. & M. # 185) or to both, nor makes it clear if he knows of both. Probably the cone does not exist. I have no proof that Orl. 658 has this reading.' (01-092 in Davies's notebook and 04-084 in Macadam's Green file). Vivó insists that this cone does not exist (Vivó 2019: 35-36) and I agree with him.
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 fragments 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.
