248

Daressy #: --

Owner: TT 94 Ramose (Aamy)

Reasons: Inscription and provenience

Transliteration: TAy-xw Hsy n nb tAwj wHmw-nswt aAmy

Translation: Fan-bearer, praised one of the lord of the Two Lands, king's herald, Aamy.

Date: A. II (Vivó 2022: 382).

Length: --

Colours: Original colour of the head seems to be red or brown (ROM: 993X2.54. See also here). Red face and 2.7 digits of the stem (01-105 in Davies's notebook).

Findspots:

• One each from TT 90 and TT 297 (01-105 in Davies's notebook and 04-060 in Macadam's Green file).

• Two from the tomb Z6 (Aglan 2022: 76). However, Aglan once stated that one each of # 200 and/or # 248 from the tomb Z7 and from the tomb Z8 at Dra Abul Naga respectively (Aglan 2020: 204, 207, and 294). It is unclear whether these objects are the same.

• One from TT 94 (Al-Amir and Saad 2023: 709 and 718).

Remarks: 

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 200. There is a possibility that # 591 was also his, though I doubt it. See 'Remarks' section of # 591 for more details.

• The dimensions, design, findspots, textual content and inscription style of # 200 and # 248 suggest that the maker of the two is the same and that they were created at the same time. The rationale behind the use of two distinct cones is evident; it is to acknowledge Amunemhat's titles that are mentioned in both cones.
