View of the guardian statue (22) of Tutankhamun, still wrapped in the remains of a linen shawl. The statue was found in the King's Antechamber, on the right side of the intact doorway leading to the Burial chamber.
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)
Howard Carter (second from right, striding, wearing a hat with a black band) accompanying the wooden portrait figure of Tutankhamun (the so-called "mannequin"; Carter 116), which is carried by an Egyptian member of the team transporting the object to the "Laboratory" tomb (KV 15, of Sethos II) for cleaning and conservation.
Also present in the photograph is Lord Carnarvon (sitting on the wall at the far left), who watches as the group passes by. The man walking to the left of the Earl is Arthur Weigall (dark hat with a darker headband), a former Egyptian Antiquities Service Inspector now engaged as a journalist reporting on the excavation. The other Europeans present here are also journalists or tourists.
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.
