Findspots:
A total of 37 examples of brick-type from TT 46 (Redford 2010 [ASAE 84]: 367, 379).
Remarks:
The individual who owns this cone is likely the same person who has a rock-cut tomb at Amarna (Davies 1906: 1-6, Pl. III-IV) and whose name is inscribed on a wine jar stored in the tomb of Tutankhamun (Černý 1965: 4, 24, Pl. V). Additionally, he may be the person depicted on the stela in the Museo dell'accademia dei Concordi in Rovigo (Dolzani 1969: 16-18, Tav. VIII b). The man on the stela, named Pentju, was an army scribe (sS mnfyt) during the late 18th dynasty to the 19th dynasty. As this title was often accompanied by sS-nswt as well as sS-nfrwt, it is likely that the two Pentjus were the same individual. For more detailed prosopographical data, see Auenmüller 2013: 834-835.
