AMS signed "A. Walker," three pages, 6.25 x 8, no date. A handwritten list of "Egyptian Curios" made by Howard Carter's sister, Amy Walker, naming valuable antiquities and photographs of Egyptian excavations. In part: "Fragment from the sculptured walls of the Temple of Queen Hatazu. 1500 B.C….Three rings taken off the fingers of mummies at Thebes by Mr. Howard Carter. The mummies were of the time of Amenhotep III. 1600. B.C….Four necklace ornaments, the large one represents the sacred asp…Piece of amber, discolored by age—also taken from a mummy by Mr. H. Carter…Pair of silver earrings (oxidized by age) which Mr. Carter took from the ears of a mummy at Thebes…Alabaster pot (semi-transparent) it originally contained a black substance like paint with which the ancient Egyptian belles used to touch up their eye-brows." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light foxing and partial splits to folds. A fascinating manifest of ancient antiquities recovered by Carter during his years in Egypt.
