Date: T. I
Length: --
Colours: Red face and white in stem (01-032 in Davies's notebook).
Findspots:
One from TT 23 (01-032 in Davies's notebook and 03-070 in Macadam's Red file).
10 bricks from the court of TT 21 (Collins 1976 [JEA 62]: 38).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 86. For possible relations between the two, see 'Remarks' to # 86.
Macadam suggested that Bak was the father of the owner of # 215, Samut (03-070 in Macadam's Red file and 04-020 in his Green file).
User, the owner of TT 21, where 10 of our Bak bricks were unearthed, was also the chief steward of Thutmose I (Davies 1913a: Pls. XXVI, XXVIII). This means that both User and Bak may have known each other. The question whether User and Bak friendly shared the tomb or the former reused the latter's tomb remains to be answered.
