Findspots:
Unknown examples probably from TT 87 (Mond 1905 [ASAE 6]: 93, 96; 01-217 in Davies's notebook).
35 from the shaft of TT 80 (Shedid 1988: 184–185, Taf. 66 d).
Two from TT 87, and three from TT 79 (Guksch 1995: 120, 178).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 618/A.07 (Hari 1983a). He also has TT 104 and its cone, # 176.
Djehutynefer had three cones in total, which makes this an intriguing case study as we can hypothesise as to the reason for his possession of these three cones. Firstly, he had cone # 176 and tomb TT 104. However, he was subsequently promoted and constructed another tomb, TT 80, as well as another cone. His new cone was one of the # 492 and # 618/A.07. The two cones in question both mention the deceased's second wife, which would appear to indicate that the making of the third cone was motivated by the desire to honour his second wife.
