A sanctuary ready to move

The Carter object 261 represents Anubis reclining on a shrine installed on a sleigh with transport poles. The file registers it in the Treasury and identifies it as Cairo JE 61444, today also cataloged GEM 6. The poles and the sleigh make visible a dimension that the name " grave goods " can hide: part of the funerary equipment was built to be moved during ritual operations. The final position within the tomb does not necessarily summarize all its functions. Examining the support next to the divine image allows us to think about actions and movements, not just a motionless collection.
