Transporting Tutankhamun's "mannequin" [1]

  • Postcard
  • Photograph, photographer not known.
  • The photograph was probably taken in early 1923; the postcard's production date is unknown, but it was almost certainly in the 1920s.
  • (Carter 116)
  • An Egyptian team member carrying the wooden portrait figure of Tutankhamun, the so-called "mannequin", from the King's tomb to the nearby "Laboratory" tomb (KV 15, of Sethos II) for cleaning and conservation.
  • The portrait bust of Tutankhamun [Carter 116] was found in the tomb's Antechamber. The King is portrayed wearing a yellow flat-topped crown featuring the centrally positioned uraeus on the crown's temple band. The King also wears a close-fitting white garment.
  • The bust's purpose is unclear, but it probably displayed part of the King's regalia. A recent proposal is that it may have been originally used for supporting and storing the King's gold corset (Carter 54k) in the tomb. When thieves ransacked the tomb in antiquity, these robbers likely removed the corset from the bust before breaking the heavy regalia into smaller, portable pieces.

Transporting objects from the Antechamber including a chariot wheel

  • Postcard
  • Photograph, photographer not known.

  • Four Egyptian members of the excavation team carrying trays of objects from Tutankhamun's tomb, escorted by Arthur Callendar (on left, wearing a pith helmet) and armed guards. The men at the front transport a wheel from one of the King's chariots, followed by two men, each carrying a tray containing smaller items, including a reed basket or tray (Carter 119) with partitions.
