• 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.
• Egyptian team members carrying the body of one of Tutankhamun's chariots (Carter 122) from the King's tomb to the nearby 'Laboratory' set-up in the tomb of Sethos II (KV15). 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).
