Description: | Bronze cat head. Number 24.85/32 in white ink. There is a hole in the left ear, presumably for an earring.

Cats were sacred to the goddess Bastet and bronze statues such as this were given as votive offerings to her. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Source: | Egypt Centre | Identifier: | http://www.egyptcentre.org.uk/index.asp?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
