- Remarks
- 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). 29-11-274d (middle fragments): MFA 31.2065 (= 274.55 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-274d middle + 29-11-373 bottom), MFA 31.2066 (= 274.56 = 29-11-274b top + 29-11-274d middle + 29-11-315c bottom), MFA 31.2073 (= 274.63 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-274d middle + 29-11-274c bottom), MFA 31.2080 (= 274.70 = 29-11-274b top + 29-11-274d middle + 29-11-373 bottom), MFA 31.2084 (= 274.74 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-274d middle), MFA 31.2102 (= 274.92 = 29-11-274b top + 29-11-274d middle)
