Remarks:
It is likely that this cone and # 416 are the same.
According to Davies, the owner of the cone may possibly be Ramose's wife, who had # 132, # 133 (Davies 1941: 1), and # 694/B.67. However, the symmetrical designs of other couples' cones, such as # 295 - # 309, # 298 - # 312, # 308 - # 340, # 572 - # 578, and # 644/B.17 - # 645/B.18, make it strange that Merytptah had only one cone with a different design from her husband's. Additionally, there are no records of the cone's find-spot. Therefore, Davies's idea lacks solid evidence.
