Ankh-f-n-khonsu's sarcophagus was found in Luxor, Egypt in the tomb of Amenhotep-Huy, who was viceroy and vizier of Eygpt during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep III which lasted from 1391BC to 1353BC.

Antiquities Ministry boss, Mahmoud Afifi said the artefact was "well preserved" and said it was clear the tomb had been reused more than 500 years after it was completed.
 
The tomb was discovered in 1978 and a team of archaeologists have been studying and renovating it since 2009.
