Premise: The Anubis Shrine was part of the grave gods of Tutankhamun (18th Dynasty, New Kingdom). The tomb (KV62) was discovered almost intact on 4 November 1922 in the Valley of the Kings in west Thebes by Howard Carter. Today the object, with the find number 261, is an exhibit at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, with the inventory number JE 61444.
Hypothesis: Howard Carter assigned the object its inventory number.
