Unknown examples from the court of TT 81 (Mond 1905 [ASAE 6]: 96).

One from TT 87 (Guksch 1995: 120).
Three from TT 79 (Guksch 1995: 178).
One from TT 99 (Strudwick and Strudwick 2016: 53).
Remarks:
The seal impression may have only been stamped on the pyramids or the prisms, not on the cones (cf. PeM: LDUCE-UC37768; MFA Boston: RES.72.308; ROM: 993X2.66 (see also here), 993X2.67). This possibility also extends to cones # 439, # 590, # 592, and # 599.
The dimensions of the face of the cone is almost identical to that of the seal impression. This suggests that the creator has deliberately crafted the face to be suitable for the stamp in advance. Some funerary cones have faces that align with the shape and size of the impression to be stamped (cf. # 335, # 592, etc.), while others do not (cf. # 45, # 331, # 344, # 406, etc), and our cone is the former.
