Findspots:

• One from the monastery at Deir el-Bakhit in Dra Abul Naga (Kruck 2012: 133).

Remarks: 

• It is possible that this seal impression was exclusively stamped on the pyramids or prisms, but not on the cones. The same might also be true for cones # 341, # 439, # 590, and # 599.

• The face of the cone is almost the identical size to that of the seal impression. This indicates that the creator has deliberately crafted the face to be suitable for the stamp in advance. Some funerary cones have faces that align with the shape and size of the impression to be stamped (cf. # 335, # 341, etc.), while others do not (cf. # 45, # 331, # 344, # 406, etc), and our cone is the former.
