Notes: Three hundred twenty-nine ushabtis (or fragments) of Horemakhet accessioned as MFA 29.1753–29.1757, MFA 29.3455–29.3673, MFA 29.3675–29.3824. Four ushabtis (one uninscribed and three inscribed for Horemakhet) accessioned as EMC_JE_53896-EMC_JE_53899. 22 (inscribed for Horemakhet) in collection of Egyptian Museum, Cairo, EMC_TR_3.4.30.4. Total accessioned by Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Egyptian Museum, Cairo: 355. One ushabti fragment from this lot belongs to group of ushabtis attributed to Pakherer, child of Ankhesenitef (29-4-232 concordance), not included in totals for Horemakhet. For 56 ushabtis of Pakherer: discrepancy in number of joined fragments listed under fitting fragments (12) and under total ushabtis (9), number of joins necessary to create 56 total out of 61 fragments is 10 (10 fragments joined to create 5 ushabtis, 61-10+5 = 56, but number of ushabtis – complete/fragmentary – totals 46 not 56). Also note: in subset list of fitting fragments, total of 2 for 29-4-232 + 29-4-235 + 29-4-232, only 1 fragment for 29-4-235 appears in following list. EMC_JE_53896 = EMC_SR_4/10143; EMC_JE_53897 = EMC_SR_4/10162; EMC_JE_53898 = EMC_SR_4/10141; EMC_JE_53899 = EMC_SR_4/10164.
