- Notes
- 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). 29-11-373: complete ushabtis: EMC_JE_56876 (= 1), MFA 31.2016–31.2016 (= 274.2–274.4), EMC_JE_56877 (= 5), MFA 31.2019 (= 274.6), EMC_JE_56878 (= 7), EMC_JE_56879 (= 8), MFA 31.836 (= 274.9), MFA 31.2020–31.2028 (= 274.10–274.18); mended ushabtis: MFA 31.2055 (= 274.45 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-373 bottom), MFA 31.2057 (= 274.47 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-373 bottom), MFA 31.2058 (= 274.48 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-373 bottom), MFA 31.2065 (= 274.55 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-274d middle + 29-11-373 bottom), MFA 31.2069 (= 274.59 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-274c bottom), MFA 31.2070 (= 274.60 = 29-11-274b top + 29-11-373 bottom), MFA 31.2072 (= 274.62 = 29-11-274b top + 29-11-373 middle + 29-11-274c bottom), MFA 31.2073 (= 274.63 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-274d middle + 29-11-274c bottom), MFA 31.2076 (= 274.66 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-274c bottom), MFA 31.2079 (= 274.69 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-373 bottom), MFA 31.2080 (= 274.70 = 29-11-274b top + 29-11-274d middle + 29-11-373 bottom), MFA 31.2081 (= 274.71 = 29-11-274b top + 29-11-315d middle + 29-11-373 bottom); head end fragments: MFA 31.2082 (= 274.72), MFA 31.2083 (= 274.73), MFA 31.2084 (= 274.74 = 29-11-373 top + 29-11-274d middle), MFA 31.2092 (= 274.82), MFA 31.2093 (= 274.83), MFA 31.2098 (= 274.88), MFA 31.2099 (= 274.89), MFA 31.2109 (= 274.99), MFA 31.2110 (= 274.100), MFA 31.2113 (= 274.104) EMC_JE_56876 - EMC_JE_56879 = EMC_SR_4/8396 - EMC_SR_4/8399.
