Comments
According to Ayrton & Loat (1911: 34), the vessel is likely to be in the Cairo Museum. It is not certain that this vessel indeed comes from tomb H35; although the description of the vessel found in that tomb (Ayrton & Loat 1911: 10) seems to resemble the vessel illustrated on pl. XXVI, 1, they may be two vessels.
