One from TT 47 area (Kondo et al. 2016: 122-123, Kondo 2025, June).
Remarks:
Ramose's father was Heby who had # 15 (cf. Helck 1958: 302-303).
Davies stated that the owner may possibly be the husband of Merytptah who had # 416 and # 617/A.06 (Davies 1941: 1). However, the design of Merytptah's cone is different from those of her husband, which is unusual considering the symmetrical designs of other couples' cones such as # 295 - # 309, # 298 - # 312, # 308 - # 340, # 572 - # 578, and # 644/B.17 - # 645/B.18. Davies's idea lacks solid evidence.
For more detailed prosopographical data, see Auenmüller 2013: 823-824.
The dimensions, design, findspots, textual content and inscription style of # 132, # 133, and # 694/B.67 suggest that the maker of the three is the same and that they were created at the same time. The rationale behind the necessity for three (or four, if we have a counterpart of # 694/B.67?) cones, despite the similarities in their contents, remain unclear and require further investigation.
