  • Egyptian team members transporting one of Tutankhamun's elaborate vessels (Carter 57) from the King's tomb to the nearby 'Laboratory' set up in the tomb of King Sethos II (KV15). The large vessel, carved from a single piece of Egyptian alabaster, originally contained unguent, its contents stolen by the tomb robbers who entered the tomb in antiquity.

The vessel's body is decorated with Tutankhamun's cartouches; the incised decoration has been filled with black pigment.
