Funerary Cone of the Scribe Nebamun ca. 1479-1458 B.C. New Kingdom This cone has the impression of a stamp seal inscribed for a man named Nebamun, who served as a scribe of accounts of the grain belonging to the god Amun during the joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. He was owner of Theban Tomb 179 (TT 179) in the Khokha cemetery of Western Thebes. Unlike the majority of New Kingdom cone inscriptions, which give the name and titles of the tomb owner, this one also identifies his father as a scribe named Itef (or perhaps Iti), and his mother as Ahmose.The area around Nebamun's tomb was cleared in the 1910-1911 field season by Norman DeGaris Davies, director of the Graphic Section of the Museum's Egyptian Expedition. This cone and another of the same type came to the Museum in the division of finds.During the 1926-27 field season, the Museum's excavators uncovered a Middle Kingdom tomb (MMA 110) with rows of unstamped cones embedded along the upper edge of the façade (see fig. 1)
