Findspots:
Unknown examples from in the temple of Ramesses IV above TT 112, the wadi of Dra Abul Naga, and TT 48 (01-288 in Davies's notebook).
Unknown examples from around TT 386 at Asasif (Arnold and Settgast 1965 [MDAIK 20]: 61).
One example of this or # 468 from TT 386 (JE 91528. Register book owned by the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. It is possible that this object is the same as the one mentioned in Arnold and Settgast 1965 [MDAIK 20]: 61).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 385, # 392, and # 601.
The sun boat depicted in this image is moving from left to right. Had it been designed to match the sun's course (i.e. from east to west), the entrance to the tomb would have been oriented towards the north. In reality, TT 389 faced east or east south-east (Bietak 1972: Plan 2), indicating that the ancient Egyptians did not aim to correspond the real world with the conceptual one.
