- Remarks
- Pakherenkhonsu concordance (29-11-275) type a: MFA 29.4606 (= 275a50), MFA 29.4607 (= 275a51), MFA 29.4613 (= 275a57), MFA 29.4614 (= 275a58), MFA 29.4617 (= 275a61), MFA 29.4622 (= 275a66), MFA 29.4628 (= 275a72); these head end fragments joined with foot end fragments from 29-11-275cc or 29-11-316c; one additional type a complete MFA 29.4636 (= "275a80" = 29-11-316b top + __-__-__ middle + 29-11-317"c" bottom), foot end of this inscribed ushabti not noted in original OR entry for 29-11-317c (uninscribed foot end fragments). Two inscribed foot end fragments not noted in original OR entry for 29-11-317c are part of two complete/mended ushabtis type 275a, these ushabtis probably account for discrepancy in total complete noted in concordance information (OR page 873) for 275a (nos. 49-78 identified as complete = total 30; however, table lists total 32 complete).
