Colours: Thick red-painted face (01-124 in Davies's notebook).

Findspots:

• 16 from Dra Abul Naga (01-124 in Davies's notebook and 04-020 in Macadam's Green file).

• One from TT 29 (Tefnin & Bavay 2008 [ASAE 82]: 368).

• One from the temple of Seti I, south-east of Dra Abul Naga (Myśliwiec 1987: 181).

• According to Davies's notebook, one from TT 183 and two from near TT 179, both of which are located on Khokhah (01-124 in Davies's notebook and 04-020 in Macadam's Green file), but see 01-124 & 125 in Davies's notebook and 04-019 in Macadam's Green file, where Macadam pointed out the possibility of Davies's mistake. This idea is acceptable since Samut's tomb is probably at Dra Abul Naga.

• One from TT 184 (Fábián 2017: 23, 71, and 76).

Remarks: 

• The examples housed in the Brithsh Museum (BM: EA 9720, 9730), the Petrie Museum (Stewart 1986: 23, 73), the National Museums Scotland (A.UC.16. See this and this), Louvre Museum (E 19991 (MG 2492, CF 176, MGL 2964)), and the one once housed in the Turin Museum (Fabretti 1881: 457) were formed on a turning wheel and thus their bodies are hollow (cf. the concentric lines observed inside the EA 9720 and lines clearly visible on the surface of the bodies of A.UC.16 and E 19991 (MG 2492, CF 176, MGL 2964)). For other hollow cones, see # 134, # 138, # 139, # 406, and # 550.

• Davies says 'head added afterwards' (01-124 in Davies's notebook and 04-020 in Macadam's Green file).

• Macadam suggested that Pabak was the owner of # 85 & # 86 (03-070 in Macadam's Red file and 04-020 in his Green file).

• Inventory # A.UC.16 preserved at the National Museums Scotland is a palimpsest.

• See also 05-045 & 138 in Macadam's DALEX file 1 and 06-053, 080, & 109 in his DALEX file 2.
