Colours: Side surface is white while the face and the two or three centimetres from there is red (Bruyère 1929: 16-17). Red coat (NpM: P 1558. Suková 2004: 93).
Findspots:
12 from the Pit 1138 at Deir el-Medina (Bruyère 1929: 17).
24 from the Pit 1138 (01-234 in Davies's notebook).
Remarks:
The producer is identical with that of # 454. It is possible that this is the reason why the colouring style of both cones is analogous (white bodies and freshly reddened faces).
Bruyère maintained that Pit 1138 served as a tomb for both Nanay (the owner of # 284 and # 454) and Amunwahsu (Bruyère 1929: 16-17).
According to Stele N. 50010 from the Egyptian museum in Turin, certain Nakhy and Neferetiry were identified as the parents of Amunwahsu (Tosi and Roccati 1972: 43-44). Amunwahsu and his family are referred to as 'Amenwahsu (i)' in Davies 1999: 67 and Chart 8.
