Remarks:
von Bissing published this brick (von Bissing 1926: 171-173).
At TT 255 (Dra Abul Naga), there is a stamped brick lying on the ground, which likely bears the same seal as ours. Notably, it is accompanied by another brick with a seal impression numbered # 704/B.77. If one of the bricks has # 703/B.76 and the other has # 704/B.77, then they form the same set as those preserved in the Museum August Kestner, Hanover (Inv. Nos. 1935,200,606 and T 1960). Regrettably, T 1960 was lost during WWII.
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.
