Item TAA ii.6.74 - Transporting a basket and a box

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 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).

Property of the Griffith Institute. No restrictions.
