Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 444.
According to Vittmann, it is suggested that Horsaaset, the father of Sheshonq, was the owner of objects # 436 and # 437. Additionally, Sheshonq is believed to have been the father-in-law of TT 197 Padineith, owner of # 391 (Vittmann 1978: 134-138).
Numerous cones from the 26th Dynasty also bear the title 'jmj-rA pr wr dwAt-nTr'. These cones share a genealogical connection as they follow the same line of succession. Sheshonq's forerunner was Ankhhor from TT 414. However, the absence of any cones implies that the tomb's superstructure was likely never completed (Vivó 2022: 323). Ankhhor was preceded by Padihorresnet from TT 196, who possessed cones # 515 and # 609. Pabasa from TT 279 came before Padihorresnet and held cones # 92, # 468, and # 469 (Vittmann 1977 [SAK 5]: 254). It is highly probable that Ibi, the father of Padihorresnet from TT 36 (Lichtheim 1948 [JNES (7(3))]: 165), was Pabasa's predecessor. Ibi held a total of six cones, including # 450, # 451, # 610, # 641/B.14, # 642/B.15, and # 643/B.16. However, there is a possibility that # 451 and # 641/B.14 refer to the same cone. Further details can be found in the 'Image Gallery' section of these cones.
This cone has 'mashroomed head' (01-220 in Davies's notebook).
