Findspots:

Unknown examples from below the court of TT 96 (Mond 1905 [ASAE 6]: 95).
Some from the court of TT 90 (Davies 1923b: 21).
Some from the court of the tomb -76- (Davies 1923b: 21).
Three from TT 79 (Guksch 1995: 178).
One from TT 99 (Strudwick and Strudwick 2016: 53).

Remarks:

Davies and Macadam thought that this to have belonged to the porticoed tomb above TT 90 (= Tomb -76-. 01-070 in Davies's notebook and 03-009 in Macadam's Red file).
Davies suggested that Turo may have been a son of TT 90 Nebamun, as they both had similar police titles (01-070 in Davies's notebook).
Macadam insisted that six examples unearthed by Mond were in fact not this cone, but # 152 (01-125 in Davies's notebook and 04-018 in Macadam's Green file).
One brick is held by Ms Sue McGovern-Huffman (EC6139. See the Image Gallery section below).
The round-topped stele ÄS 139 preserved in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna shows a certain Tur who was a chief of the medjay (Hüttner and Satzinger 1999: 49-54). Since the object is dated from the reign of Thutmose IV to that of Amunhotep III, if both Tur are the same person, our cone can also be dated to the same period.
