Colours: Red (Kondo and Ishibashi 2003: 132).
Findspots:
Three from the court of TT 128-129 (Kondo and Ishibashi 2003: 132).
Remarks:
This cone exhibits sunken signs (Kondo and Ishibashi 2003:132). For similar examples, see # 264, # 289, # 330, # 389, # 481, and # 571.
Canopic jars and cones belonging to Qenna were discovered at the court of TT 128-129, indicating that his tomb may be located nearby (Ibid.: 132, 134, 178, Pl. 39).
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 433.
The inscription on both cones, # 433 and # 621/A.10, is identical, as is the design, which is symmetrical. It can be concluded that the maker of the two cones is the same, and that they were created at the same time. It is likely that the two cones were set into the façade of the tomb in a symmetrical manner. This would suggest that one cone was positioned at the right half of the façade, while the other cone, bearing a different type, was set at the left half.
