Unknown examples from the southern Dra Abul Naga (Northampton etc. 1908: 4, Pls. 2, 24. Exact location unknown. cf. Delgado 2005 [BAEDE 15]: 92 and Miniaci 2009: 43-45).
Remarks:
Daressy's illustration is based on Petrie's work (Daressy 1893: 287 and 311. cf. Petrie 1888: Pl. XXIII [95]). However, Petrie drew # 397, not #396. The figure produced by Northampton et al. is not a facsimile, but rather a rough sketch. Moreover, there is no evidence that any museums or institutions hold this type. It seems highly probable that this cone may never have actually existed. See also Vivó 2019: 39-40.
