介绍（中）	1907年12月，美国富人西奥多·M·戴维斯（Theodore M.Davis）在国王谷（Valley of the Kings）资助挖掘工作，他在塞蒂一世（Seti I）墓附近发现了一个小坑。坑内大约有十几个密封的白色大储物罐（09.184.1），一块亚麻布，上面刻有图坦卡蒙国王（王座名Nebkheperure）6年和8年的象形文字。当时，人们对图坦卡蒙几乎一无所知，戴维斯宣布他发现了国王的陵墓 Davis在藏品分类中收到了一些罐子和里面的东西，1909年，他将大部分份额捐给了大都会博物馆。直到后来，博物馆底比斯发掘工作的现场负责人赫伯特·温洛克才意识到，这些纳龙和亚麻布是图坦卡蒙木乃伊化后的防腐垃圾破旧的亚麻床单和衣服被用来包裹和填充木乃伊。实际上并没有用于制作木乃伊的亚麻布有时会被埋葬在防腐储藏室里。在图坦卡蒙的防腐储藏室中发现的三块经过修补和清洗的头巾（09.184.217–.219）最初被确认为客人在国王葬礼上穿的头巾。我们现在相信它们是剩下的防腐亚麻布的一部分。这条蓝色头巾是用靛蓝染色的，很小，可能是图坦卡蒙小时候的。无论图坦卡蒙是否穿着，古埃及时代的染色亚麻布都极为罕见，这使它成为一件非常珍贵的物品。其中两块是为成年人制作的（09.184.218，.219）；第三是儿童尺寸（09.184.217）。
介绍（英）	In December 1907 Theodore M. Davis, a wealthy American who was funding excavations in the Valley of the Kings, discovered a small pit near the tomb of Seti I. Inside the pit were approximately a dozen large sealed whitewashed storage jars (09.184.1). Among other things, the jars contained bags of natron (a kind of salt), pieces of linen with hieratic inscriptions dated to Years 6 and 8 of a king named Tutankhamun (throne name Nebkheperure). At the time, almost nothing was know about Tutankhamun, and Davis declared that he had discovered the king's tomb. Davis received a number of the jars and their contents in the division of finds and, in 1909, he gave most of his share to the Metropolitan Museum. It was only later that Herbert Winlock, the field director of the Museum's excavations at Thebes, realized that the natron and linen were embalming refuse from the mummification of Tutankhamun. Worn linen sheets and clothing were used for wrapping and padding mummies. Linens that weren't actually used for mummification were sometimes buried in embalming caches. Three mended and laundered head cloths (09.184.217–.219) found in Tutankhamun's embalming cache were originally identified as kerchiefs worn by guests at the king's funerary meal. We now believe that they were part of the leftover embalming linen. This blue kerchief, dyed with indigo, is quite small and may have belonged to Tutankhamun when he was a child. Whether it was worn by Tutankhamun or not, examples of dyed linen from ancient Egyptian times are extremely rare, making this a very precious object. Two of the kerchiefs were made for adults (09.184.218, .219); the third is child-size (09.184.217).
