Remarks:

The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 85.
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.
Macadam states as follows: 'The text is merely the reverse of the last, but the signs are en creux. It might be an impression made from that, but the signs are extremely thin' (03-070 in Macadam's Red file. cf. 01-032 in Davies's notebook). Vivó also suggested that this cone was made by stamping # 85, possibly to make up for the accidental loss of the original mould of # 85 (Vivó 2022: 25). For a similar case, see # 480 and # 481.
