All of these small-scale objects, which range from study samples to a three-quarter-inch-high bronze dog and a sphinx bracelet-element, attributed to Tutankhamun’s tomb, which was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings. The Museum initiated this formal acknowledgement after renewed, in-depth research by two of its curators substantiated the history of the objects.

I love that little dog! Do they happen to know which bracelet that sphinx came from? If it is currently in the collection, I would think it would be a good idea to restore it to its proper place.
