Findspots:

• Unknown examples from the west of Rammeseum (01-263 in Davies's notebook).

Remarks: 

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 541.

• The inscription on both cones, # 541 and # 542, is almost identical, as is the design. However, the the style of the lettering suggests that the maker of the two cones is a different individual. Regarding the order of the making of the two cones, Davies wrote 'No 513 (= # 541) is surely a faulty stamp, replaced by 514 (= # 542) which says the same thing correctly' (01-263 in Davies's notebook). According to Davies, this implies that # 541 was made first, and # 542 afterwards.
