Findspots:
Three bricks from near TT 69 (Lepsius 1849-1859 [LD Text III]: 287. cf. Seyfried 1991: 117).
Unknown examples of brick of this, # 412, or # 673/B.46 from around TT 66 (Winlock and Crum 1926: 17).
27 examples of brick-type from TT 46 (Redford 2010: 367, 379).
Unknown examples of bricks (this cone or # 673/B.46) from the court of TT 103 (PM I, 2: 654).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 673/B.46.
It is not clear why he has two different types of seal impressions and the order in which they were made.
The question of whether our Meryptah is the same individual as the other Meryptah, who owns # 412, remains unresolved and is a matter of ongoing debate (Wegner 2022).
This seal impression may only been stamped on the bricks, not on the cones. For more on the same type, visit here.
