Funerary cone fragment of reddish clay with tapering cone element broken off and missing. Two identical rectangular stamps on the head (quite) indistinct but known from parallels) with hieroglyphic text in undivided register naming the owner as "Chief Wab-priest of Amen, Thutmose" (aA n wab n Imn DHwty-ms).

Funerary cones were components of a frieze, inserted above the doors of private tombs, particularly in the Theban region. They have been variously interpreted as: name-plates of sorts to identify the tomb owner, decorative memorials, boundary markers for a tomb, dummy bread loaves or meat offerings, symbolic roof beams, or (for the visible circular head) depictions of the sun disk.

For other examples of this tomb owner see: Res.72.351; Res.72.352; Res.72.353; Res.72.355; Res.72.356; 72.1823; 72.1824.
