Findsots:

• One from Medinet Habu. The seal impression is stamped on the circular surface (Teeter et al. 2003: 182, Pl. 98a).

• In total of three from the 'Areal E' and the monastery at Deir el-Bakhit in Dra Abul Naga (Kruck 2012: 115).

Remarks: 

• As for the owner and the inscription, see the comments made by Naguib (Naguib 1987 [BSÉG 11]: 72–74).

• Some of the funerary cones from the period subsequent to the New Kingdom appear to be shorter than those from the New Kingdom. For additional examples of shorter cones from the later period, see # 3, # 584, # 598, and # 609. However, it is challenging to identify any discernible trends in length (cf. Length & Width).

• See also 01-247 in Davies's notebook, 05-107, 109, 148, & 158 in Macadam's DALEX file 1, and 06-032, 040, 064, 065, 070, & 099 in his DALEX file 2.
