Columnar terracotta cone with flattened base, five horizontal bands of reserved hieroglyphic text giving the dedication: 'Djedher, true of voice, son of Ankhhor who is the son of the hereditary noble, great mayor, great one of the Meshwesh (an ancient Libyan tribe), mayor, overseer of the priests of Banebdju, Djedher, his mother, mistress of the house, Shepensepedet, true of voice.' 895 grams, 16.5 cm

Funerary cones were used to decorate the facades of tombs. The 'tail' was pushed into the soft plaster coating so that only the disc was visible. This cone belongs to Djedher, whose tomb is likely to be in the Asasif region of the Theban necropolis, where other examples of his funerary cones have been found.
