Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2021-10-31), "Provenience should be Tomb 221-36. The PAHMA registration journal attributes sherds from this vessel (6-6351) to Tomb 22 but there was no such object recorded in the field notes for that tomb. However, it matches the sketch of Tomb 221 object 36 and is shown in expedition photo B-1135. The last digit of the original field mark seems to have been illegible when museum staff registered it." According to Victoria Jensen (2022-09-30), "Provenience should be Tomb 1296. Fragments of a large amphora are catalogued as TEMP 2015.0964. They include fragments 6-6041, 6-7817, 6-7819, 6-8985, and 6-9062. The base of the amphora has the original field mark in Lythgoe's hand of Tomb 1296. There is hieratic text on the shoulder of the vessel.
