Div. 3. Sepulchral cones. The precise use of these objects is not 
known ; they are of baked earth, red on the exterior, but black towards 
the centre. The base is inscribed with hieroglyphics in relief, which 
have been stamped, one specimen exhibiting a double impression. 
The inscriptions generally read from left to right, contrary to the usual 
manner : they have been supposed to be seals, but no impressions from 
them have been as yet discovered, and numerous specimens precisely 
similar have been found within, or over the door of, the same tomb. 
The hieroglyphics, which are always stamped upon the base, contain 
universally a dedication to the deceased, sometimes accompanied with 
figures.
