Findspots:

• Together with # 554, unknown examples 'from tomb in north of D. A. N. (= Dra Abul Naga)' (01-269 in Davies's notebook).

• Together with # 554, many from the German concession at Dra Abul Naga (Polz 1995a: 216 n. 21).

• Two from TT 11 and TT 12 (Galán and Borrego 2006 [Memnonia 17]: 207).

• 10 from the 'Areal E' in Dra Abul Naga (Kruck 2012: 90).

Remarks: 

• For the rare expression 'HAtj-a jmn-m-Hb n wAst’, see Assmann 1979 [JEA 65]: 58.

• Tomb A. 8 is likely the same as the tomb numbered -136- by Kampp (Kiser-Go 2006: 244-245).

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 554, # 667/DAN I, and # 701/B.74.

• The dimensions, design, findspots, textual content and inscription style of # 532 and # 554 suggest that the maker of the two is the same and that they were created at the same time. However, the order of production of these two with the other two (# 667/DAN I and # 701/B.74) is unclear. It is possible that # 667/DAN I was also produced by the same individual as that of # 532 and # 554.

• The Hermitage Museum preserves a statue group of Amunemheb (Piotrovsky, Landa, and Lapis 1974: No. 51).

• See also 05-017, 136, & 137 in Macadam's DALEX file 1 and 06-049, 063, 082, 099, & 106 in his DALEX file 2.
