Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2020-04-08), "Provenience should be 'uncertain provenience, Deir el-Ballas.' PAHMA registration journal attributed this vessel to Tomb 157 but the field notes do not list any similar object. This could possibly be from Tomb 153, which is missing two similar shaped vessels of pink fabric with white paint, but there is no original field mark visible to verify this." According to Martha Beltran (2006-04-18), "Pot No. 6-6829 was assembled with sherds numbered as follows: 6-6829 and 6-8974. Based on the original (Reisner's) number and the descriptions found in the ledger, catalog cards, Reisner's archaeological field notes and the photographic register, it was determined that the correct number is 6-6829.
