This unusual carrying chest with four sliding poles was found in the Antechamber. It was designed to be carried on the shoulders of four or perhaps eight bearers. The box and lid are constructed from red wood panels inside ebony frames. A scene on the front describes Tutankhamun as ‘the Osiris King, Lord of the Two Lands, Nebkheperure’, suggesting that it was carved after his death. Other inscriptions suggest that the chest and its contents were used during the ‘Opening of the Mouth’ ceremony. This was the last and most important part of the funerary ritual when the deceased was made able to breathe and receive food and drink in the afterlife.
