- Comment:
- According to Victoria Jensen (2022-02-15), "Provenience should be Room 246, Northern Kom (Northern Palace). The Roman-era object was marked 246 but it did not come from the tomb of that number, which contained 18th Dynasty pottery. However, Green recorded "Roman lamp" from Room 246 in the palace (Notebook D-9: 35).
