Findspots:
28 from the Pit 1138 at Deir el-Medina (Bruyère 1929: 17).
Unknown examples from the dumped soil in Deir el-Medina (Bruyère 1934: 89).
10 from the Pit 1138 (01-234 in Davies's notebook).
Remarks:
The producer is identical with that of # 453.
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), who may have owned # 453. A fragment of relief found in the British Museum (EA 281) also belongs to this individual, Nanay. Additionally, El Shazly considers stela EA 360 to be associated with Nanay (El Shazly 2015: 416-419). Nakhy (iii), along with his family, is referred to as such in Davies 1999: 64, 66-67, and Chart 8.
