Each example from TT 75, near TT 103, and the wady of TT 71 (01-239 in Davies's notebook).
One from the court of TT 74 (Brack and Brack 1977: 78).
One from TT 75 (JE 94258. cf. Register book owned by the museum).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is the same as that of # 136. Macadam, Eichler, and Vivo suggest that # 162 may have originated from the same tomb (04-016 in Macadam's Green file; Eichler 2000: 253; Vivó 2022: 247-249, 338 n. 121).
It is evident that the manufacturer of # 136 and # 417 differed due to the distinct way of inscribing text. However, the content of the text is nearly identical. Amunhotep made two cones, mentioning Anubis and Osiris on each cone respectively. Alternatively, it could be suggested that # 136 was mis-inscribed by one manufacturer due to the abnormal phrase 'jmAxy xr jnpw'. Subsequently, Amunhotep may have placed an order with another manufacturer for a replacement cone, # 417. However, the true reason for him having two different cones and the sequence of their creation remains unknown.
