Findspots:

• One from the tomb Z1 at Dra Abul Naga (Aglan 2020: 210-211, 274, and 355).

Remarks:

• Regarding the uncommon phrase 'HAtj-a jmn-m-Hb n wAst’, see Assmann 1979 [JEA 65]: 58.

• Tomb A. 8 is likely the same as the tomb -136- numbered by Kampp (Kiser-Go 2006: 244-245).

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 532, # 554, and # 667/DAN I.

• The dimensions, design, findspots, textual content and inscription style of # 532 and # 554 suggest that the maker of the two is the same and that they were created at the same time. However, the order of production of these two with the other two (# 667/DAN I and # 701/B.74) is unclear. It is possible that # 667/DAN I was also produced by the same individual as that of # 532 and # 554.

• A statue group of Amunemheb is preserved in the Hermitage Museum (Piotrovsky, Landa, and Lapis 1974: No. 51).

• 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.
