Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2021-03-12), "Provenience should be Room 132, West of Palace. There was no tomb numbered 132 in Reisner's field notes for Cemetery 1-200, but there is a room west of the North Palace that was given the number 132 and Green recorded a wooden spindle whorl in his notes for that area (F.W. Green typed notes 'Notes on Northern Kom at Deir el-Ballas, February 1900', p. 16).
