Faience ushabtis

Object register page:

Three uninscribed faience ushabtis, [Type III 2d]; [these ushabtis belong to a group of 367+ (corrected to read 372+) uninscribed ushabtis including 25-2-841 through 25-2-844, 25-2-903, and 25-2-1008 (and 25-2-744), all from various rooms in pit G 7632 A; the concordance of ushabtis from this provenance described on OR page 568 includes (portions ? of) groups of ushabtis (and fragments) attributed to two different men; those attributed to Wahibre (25-1-841 through 25-2-844, and others) total 423+ inscribed and uninscribed ushabtis (330+ being uninscribed), and those attributed to Ahmose son of Wahibre (25-2-1008, and others) total 381+ inscribed and uninscribed ushabtis (364 being uninscribed); these totals (of uninscribed ushabtis) taken collectively exceed the 372+ ushabtis that constitute the concordance on OR page 568; since the majority of ushabtis specifically identified (by object registration number) on OR page 568 belong to separate and distinct groups described elsewhere, the identity of the ushabtis that constitute the group described on OR page 568 is unknown; only two registration numbers (25-2-903 and 25-2-744) are not specifically associated with the groups of ushabtis attributed to Wahibre and Ahmose].
