Description: cat. Probably from the top of a case for a mummified cat. The eyes are inlaid with glass and foil. The cat was cast upside-down and the surface has the appearance of fur; this was part of the original casting. The cat wears a necklace and wedjat eye over the left pectoral and has a scarab on top of her head. These two features are associated with Ra the sun god. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | figure statuette | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
