Preparing one side of the cow-headed couch for transport

  • Postcard
  • Photograph, photographer not known.
  • The photograph was taken on 24th January 1923, the day Carter recorded this couch being moved; the postcard's production date is unknown, but it was almost certainly sometime in the 1920s.
  • Howard Carter (left), assisted by Walter Hauser (right), manoeuvring the right side of the cow-headed couch (Carter 73) into a packing case in preparation for its transfer to the nearby 'Laboratory' set up in the tomb of Sethos II (KV15).

Carrying Tutankhamun's "mannequin" in the Valley of the Kings

  • 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 man holding the bust is escorted by an armed guard and another Egyptian excavation team member, which was necessary to ensure the safe movement of objects through the Valley of the Kings following the announcement of the tomb's discovery, which attracted large crowds of journalists and tourists who flocked to Luxor hoping to see the tomb and view objects as they were being moved.
  • 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 chariot is also escorted by an armed guard and Howard Carter (background, wearing a bowtie and a pale-coloured hat with a dark band).

  • View showing the lid of Tutankhamun's outer coffin (Carter 253), still in situ inside the King's sarcophagus (Carter 240). This photograph was taken sometime between the sarcophagus lid being raised on 12th February 1924 and the removal of the outer coffin lid on 13th October 1925.
