The Jackal headpiece was an Egyptian artifact gifted to Kha the architect by his Pharoah. It originally adorned a statue of Kha placed within the architect's tomb.
The piece was discovered in 1908 by Demetrios, who stole it from Howard Carter's dig site and fled the country despite the best attempts of Indiana Jones and T. E. Lawrence to stop him.
Arriving in Mexico, Demetrios kept the headpiece with his collection of artifacts stored at his home. In 1916, Jones recovered the artifact from Demetrios' estate and kept it with him when he traveled to Europe to join the war effort, later donating the piece to the museum in New York City where it was on display from at least 1992.
