The photograph was probably taken in early 1923; the postcard's production date is unknown, but it was almost certainly in the 1920s.
An Egyptian team member, accompanied by Arthur Callendar [right, foreground] and an armed guard [centre, background], carries a tray containing a reed and papyrus box (Carter 42) and an ornamental box made of redwood inlaid with ebony and ivory. The objects are being transported from Tutankhamun's tomb to the nearby 'Laboratory' (the tomb of King Sety II, KV15).
An object, perhaps one of Tutankhamun's chairs, transported from the King's tomb to the nearby 'laboratory' (tomb KV15, Sethos II). Arthur Callender (wearing a white hat) accompanies the Egyptian team members, Alan Gardiner (wearing a dark hat) stands on the right.

(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.
