Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2022-09-26), "Provenience uncertain, context number 1610. This alabaster jar is marked 1610 in Reisner's hand. The style would fit with an Old KIngdom context, so it may have come from Tomb 1610 at Nag ed Der. There is no known House 1610 at Deir el-Ballas, the houses date from the 17th - 19th Dynasties, and they were excavated by Lythgoe who has a very different handwriting from Reisner's, so it can be ruled out that this vase came from Deir el-Ballas.
