Remarks:
The owner is identical to that of # 29.
The reason for Amunemhat creating two different cones, # 29 and # 77, remains unclear. Nevertheless, while # 77 boasts solely two titles (TAy xw n nb tAwj and jmj-rA aXnwtj), # 29 showcases an additional four titles alongside the identical two. The signs on # 29 are of a smaller proportion to accommodate all six titles within a limited space. This could suggest that Amunemhat initially possessed # 77, but after being promoted and earning four more titles, he eventually created # 29.
The owner of TT 48, Amunemhat (called Surer), is one of the candidates for the owner of this cone since it was found near his tomb and he was also both a king’s scribe and a fan-bearer (Säve-Söderbergh 1957: Pl. 30–68). However, the inscriptions in his tomb have never attested that he was a 'wHmw-nswt (king’s herald)', 'jmj-rA st (overseer of the storeroom)', or 'jmj-rA pr-HD (overseer of the treasury)', which appear on # 29 or 'jmj-rA aXnwtj (chamberlain)'. If Amunemhat called Surer from TT 48 and our Amunemhat is the same individual, he also had # 477.
The Museum August Kestner has a statue (inv. no. K. M. 1976.76) which seems to have belonged to our Amunemhat. The statue of Amunemhat bears the titles 'sS-nswt jmj-rA st TAy-xw Sms nb=f r nmtt=f Hr xAswt rsjt mHwt' and the name of Amunemhat's father, qn-jtm. Munro thinks that it dates from Thutmose III - Amunhotep II (Munro 1977 [GM 26]).
