Remarks:

From the location where this example was found and from the inscription we can deduce that the owner of this cone is identical to the owners of # 87, # 91, and # 113. The tomb of our Nakhtmin had TT 87, to which # 147 and # 177 belonged, but it is highly doubtful that the tomb had these four cones: in other words, another tomb of Nakhtmin is waiting to be discovered. With regard to the order of making the cones, # 87, # 89, # 91, and # 113 were made for Nakhtmin's first tomb at Khokhah. Subsequently, # 147 and # 177 were made for Nakhtmin's second tomb, TT 87 (see Remarks on # 87 and Zenihiro 2017).
