Howard Carter, assisted by Walter Hauser, manoeuvring one side of the cow-headed couch (73) into a packing case for transfer to the nearby 'laboratory' (tomb KV15, of Sethos II).
Photograph probably taken in late 1922 or early 1923.
George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert, fifth Earl of Carnarvon, standing in the doorway of 'Castle Carter', Howard Carter's house at Elwet el-Diban located at the entrance to the wadi leading to the Valley of the Kings.
The photographer is not known, perhaps taken by The Times photographer, probably in early 1923.
A donkey procession in the Valley of the Kings.
Riding donkeys, from the left, Alfred Lucas (white hat), Arthur Callender (also white hat), Howard Carter (medium coloured hat with dark band), and Arthur Mace (dark hat).
Donkeys were the main form of transport to and from Tutankhamun's tomb.
TAA ii.6.61 almost certainly records the same event.
The photograph was probably taken in early 1923; the postcard's production date is unknown, but it was almost certainly in the 1920s.
Two Egyptian team members, accompanied by Howard Carter [wearing hat and waistcoat, left foreground], carry trays containing objects from the Antechamber of Tutankhamun's tomb while being pursued by tourists. The man on the left carries a decorated box (Carter 44), probably a footstool or stool, while the tray conveyed by the man contains two items, perhaps a box lid and a vessel (not identified). The objects are being transported to the nearby 'Laboratory' (the tomb of King Sety II, KV15).
The photograph was probably taken in early 1923; the postcard's production date is unknown, but it was almost certainly in the 1920s.
Egyptian excavation team members transport some of Tutankhamun's food provisions from the King's tomb to the nearby 'Laboratory' set up in the tomb of King Sethos II (KV15) in the Valley of the Kings.
Forty-eight boxes (Carter 62) containing choice cuts of meat and whole geese were prepared to accompany the King's burial and were placed in a neat pile beneath one of the ceremonial couches in the Antechamber. They were some of the first items Howard Carter saw when he looked into the tomb for the first time on 26th November 1922, recording them as "a heap of large curious white oviform boxes".
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.
The photograph was probably taken in early 1923; the production date of the postcard is not known, but it was almost certainly in the 1920s.
Members of the Egyptian team manoeuvring a large carrying tray out through the entrance to the modern enclosure wall constructed shortly after Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered. The team are carrying two black shrine-like boxes (Carter 37) and (Carter 38) and a gabled-roofed box (Carter 32), transporting them from the tomb's Antechamber to the Laboratory.
