Funerary Cone of Sapair

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 117

This funerary cone is stamped with the impression of a seal inscribed for a man named Sapair (Sa-pa-ir) who was a wab-priest of the god Amun. Funerary cones seem to have been used as architectural decoration, arranged in rows along the upper edge of private tomb facades at Thebes. The round end of each cone was stamped with the name and titles of the tomb owner. For a drawing of this impression see http://www.funerarycones.com/, number 155.
