Colours: White face and a red stem. But another example of (maybe) this cone, has a white film over a red face and a stem (01-074 in his notebook). White paint on the reddish body (Betrò 2010 [EVO 33]: 5).
Findspots:
Unknown examples from southern Dra Abul Naga (Northampton etc. 1908: 4, Pls. 2, 23. Exact location unknown. cf. Delgado 2005 [BAEDE 15]: 92).
Uknown examples from in front of TT 232 (Chassinat 1910 [BIFAO 7]: 157).
Four from TT 161 (01-074 in his notebook and 03-002 in Macadam's Red file).
Three from TT 11–12 (Galán and Borrego 2006 [Memnonia 17]: 207).
21 from TT 232 area (Polz 2007: 161 n. 627).
One from M.I.D.A.N.05 (Betrò 2010 [EVO 33]).
One from the tomb -159- (Op. cit.: 13).
93 examples of cones and two examples of bricks from 'Areal H' at Dra Abul Naga (Kruck 2012: 60, 98).
Two from the tomb -150- and one from the tomb -390- (Beabesh 2017: 68-69).
Remarks:
Many Egyptologists have previously linked this cone to TT 146 (PM I. 12: 258; Hayes 1990: 129; Vivó 2002: 25; Galán 2008: 166; Dibley & Lipkin 2009: 48, 205; Zenihiro 2009a: 68). But Betrò insisted that his tomb could have been located somewhere between TT 232 and TT 148 (Betrò 2010 [EVO 33]). Later, the DAI found 93 examples of this cone and two examples of bricks in and around -149- (K10.1), a neighbouring tomb to the north of the Nebkheperre-Antef pyramid, and identified it as the source of this cone (Polz 2012: 10; Kruck 2012: 60, 98).
Davies states that there is a variant of this cone in which xr jmn replaces xr Asjr in the first two columns. (01-074 in his notebook). Macadam, however, denied its existence because he could find no evidence of it, that and suggested the possibility that Davies had confused it with # 72, which is quite similar (03-002 in Macadam's Red file). I am also sceptical about Davies's idea, as I have found no evidence to support it.
