Colours: Red coated (Myśliwiec 1987: 181). Red face and 1.4 digits of the stem with a white film. But the one preserved in the National Museums of Scotland (accession no A.1906.665) has a very red face with no stem colours (01-072 in Davies's notebook).
Findspots:
Unknown examples from the southern Dra Abul Naga (Northampton etc. 1908: 4, Pls. 2, 25. Exact location unknown. cf. Delgado 2005 [BAEDE 15]: 92).
One from the temple of Seti I at Qurna (Myśliwiec 1987: 181, Taf. XXXII).
Remarks:
Davies writes 'a brick seen' in his unpublished material but he does not mention where he saw it (01-072 in Davies's notebook and 03-006 in Macadam's Red file).
Kampp and Vivó have assigned this cone to the tomb -398- (Kampp 1996: 768; Vivó 2002: 27). However, on closer examination of the only published image I am unable to read the title and name of the owner due to the quality of the photo (cf. El-Bialy 1990: 97). Manniche, however, reads his name as jtj (Manniche 1991: 90). The findspots are far away from -398-, so that it is not yet certain that this cone belongs to this tomb.
A stela of a certain Tiy with a lady named Mereret is preserved in the Archaeological Museum of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Odessa (Inv. no. 52683. Berlev 1998: 46-47, Pl. 75) but we do not have sufficient evidences to identify our Tiy with this Tiy.
