Remarks
Many typographical errors on enclosure for reregistered concordance 29-11-196; this ushabti not part of reregistered concordance 29-11-196. Ushabtis of Psamtik (concordance 29-11-274). Two sets of inscribed ushabtis of Psamtik, son of Ikhetpure, born of Iset, have been attributed to two different “original” loci (based on provenances for the scattered ushabtis); however, both sets are identical (style and inscription); see ushabti concordance 25-2-236 (attributed to G 7631 A) and ushabti concordance 29-11-274 (attributed to G 7757 A). 29-11-196gg: MFA 31.2116 (= 274.116)
