Findspots:
Unknown examples from TT 89 (01-176 in Davies's notebook).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical with that of # 286. Nina and Norman de G. Davies suggested that # 325 may also have belonged to the same official (Davies and Davies 1940 [JEA 26]: 131). Nevertheless, all excavated examples were discovered in the Asasif region. If all three were for the same individual, it is likely that he possessed two tombs.
The dimensions, design, findspots, and text content of # 285 and # 286 are similar. However, as the handwriting suggests, the maker of the two could have been different individuals. The rationale behind the necessity for two cones, despite the similarities in their contents, as well as the identity of the maker of the two cones and the order of making the two cones, remains unclear and requires further investigation.
