Bild från arbetet vid Tutankhamuns grav med Howard Carter i ledningen.
"Rolling off the pall from its wooden framework support. Mr Carter is on the left and Mr. Mace in the centre. For this a pole, specially prepared to take the length of the pall, was placed in position on the top of the cornice across one side, and a couple of boards placed alongside to permit the workers to manipulate the pole. The end of the pall was then carefully gathered up round the pole, which was gradually rolled towards the opposite side of the shrine. from time to time the rolling was interrupted to permit the collection or the picking off of the metal rosettes, in order to lighten the strain and prevent thier tearing the already fragile material."

Howard Carter (till vänster) ledde själv arbetet med att avlägsna ett
stort sjok linnetyg som hade spänts upp mellan de två yttersta
kapellen. Försiktigt rullades det sköra tyget på en stång av trä, medan
påsydda blommor i metall avlägsnades för att skona tyget. (Underbara ting 2022)
