Findspots:
One from TT 274 (Gauthier 1919 [BIFAO 16]: 186–187).
A total of five from Qurnet Murai (01-266 in Davies's notebook).
One from TT 222 (Ibid.).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 209.
From the handwriting, it can be reasonably concluded that both cones were created by different individuals. However, it is uncertain which was created first and for what reason Hesunetjeref desired a second one. If one is to speculate, it is possible that he had cone # 209 first, but that the quality did not meet his expectations. Consequently, he may have sought cone # 545. To date, there is only one example of # 209, whereas there are nearly 10 examples of # 545. This supports the hypothesis that # 545 was created as a result of dissatisfaction with # 209.
EMC has a statue of a certain Hesynetjeref, dating back to the 19th dynasty. The statue's inscription reads 'Sms nb=f r nmtt=f jrj rdwj n nb tAwj jb n nswt wab awj TAy-xw Hr wnmj nswt jmj-rA nst nswt (CG 569. Borchardt 1925: 118-119)'. Although the origin of the statue is unknown and the titles are different, the similarity of the rare names is worth noting.
