The "funerary cones", which appeared from the 11th Dynasty particularly at Thebes, are in fact a special form of seals presenting at their base a short offering formula or more simply the titles and the name of the deceased. One does not only find them inside or near the tombs of their beneficiaries, but also in the sanctuaries where the offerings in favour of the gods were also reserved for the deceased. This example, which is in a good state of preservation, bears on its base an inscription mentioning the title and the name of the owner, who is also known by other sources. It dates from the New Kingdom.
