Tomb KV36, located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, was used for the burial of the noble Maiherpri from the Eighteenth Dynasty.
Rediscovered by Victor Loret in March 1899, the tomb was found to be substantially undisturbed, but as it has never been properly published, it is not as well known as other burials in the valley.
Amongst the items recovered were two dog collars, one inscribed with the name of the dog's owner – Tantanouet.
