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 for a long time not properly published, it is not as well known as other burials in the valley. Recently the notebooks of Loret were found and published, providing a detailed list and description of the objects found and their arrangement in the tomb chamber.

Amongst the items recovered were two dog collars, one inscribed with the name of the dog's owner – Tantanouet. Other items of the burial equipment were the partly gilded coffins of Maiherpri, a mummy mask, a canopic chest with four canopic jars, a Book of the Dead and several pottery vessels.
