1 postcard

Formerly with an online postcard dealer in the U.S.A. in August 2023.

The Griffith Institute purchased the postcard in August 2023.

• Postcard
• Photograph, photographer not known.
• 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.
