Findspots:

• Unknown examples from the tomb no. 5 named by Lepsius (Lepsius 1849-1859 [LD Text III]: 239. The tomb is probably at Dra Abul Naga).

• Unknown examples from the tomb -162- (Kampp and Seyfried 1995: 326-328).

• Two from the TT 11-12 area (Galán 2008: 169-170).

Remarks: 

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 660/B.33.

• The design, findspots, and text content of # 659/B.32 and # 660/B.33 suggest that the maker of the two is the same and that they were created at the same time. The rationale behind the necessity for two cones, despite the similarities in their contents, remain unclear and require further investigation.

• This seal impression may have been stamped solely on the bricks, rather than the cones. Further information on this particular type can be found here.
