“Revered by Osiris, Kings Son of Kush, Merymose”

Merymose was an Egyptian General who campaigned under Pharaoh Amenhotep III against the Kushites. Merymose would serve as Viceroy (Military Governor) over Kush for almost 40 years in Nubia.

Stamped Terracotta cones like these would’ve been placed over the doorway to his tomb, most likely representing roof beams but this is unconfirmed. This is just the stamped hieroglyph end of one, but the complete object would be much longer tapering off into a point like a long cone.
