Egyptian Terracotta Funerary Cone of User(amun). The Peter Clayton Egyptian Collection (Lots 1-32 & 391-500) New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, circa 1479-1425 B.C. Large portion of the tapering cone with the circular flat end bearing the impressed stamp, with three horizontal groups of hieroglyphs reading: 'Hereditary prince, count chancellor of the king of Lower Egypt, sole companion, overseer of the city, vizier, User(amun), true of voice'. Cf. Davies, N. de G. & Laming Macadam F., A Corpus of Inscribed Egyptian Funerary Cones, Oxford, 1957, no. 355, for the cone type. 596 grams, 11.2 cm (4 3/8 in.). [No Reserve] Acquired from Abdoul Rassoul on the West Bank at Luxor, 1974-1980 when a guest lecturer. From the private collection of Peter Clayton, FCILIP, Dip, Arch, FSA, FRNS, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, UK; formed since the late 1950s. The impressively lofty titles listed on this cone identify the owner as Useramun, here shortened to User. He owned two tombs in the Theban necropolis: one, it seems, for his family (TT 61) and the other for himself (TT 131).
