Funerary cone belonging to an official called Amenemka who was a seal-bearer to the pharaoh. One end is rectangular in shape and has been stamped with a hieroglyphic inscription. On the lower right hand side, beneath two short columns of text, is a figure of the owner kneeling, with arms raised in a gesture of adoration before the cartouche of Thutmose III. The inscriptions read,"Seal-bearer of the king of Lower Egypt, fourth prophet of Amun, Amenemka the justified, his son, second prophet of Thutmose III, Eskedenu" [xtmw-bjtj Hm-nTr 4 nw n jmn kA-m-jmn mAa-xrw sA=f Hm-nTr snnw n mn-xpr-ra s-qdnw].
