Cats were very important to the ancient Egyptians – they were considered sacred and often buried and mummified in their own right, regardless of the owner’s status. This life-size sculpture of a cat is one of the most iconic Egyptian cats ever found. Made from copper, and lavishly adorned with gold-coloured ear and nose rings, it is intricately detailed and decorated with symbols of fertility associated with the goddess Bastet. The Greek historian Herodotus (c. 484–c. 425 BC) wrote that if a cat died a natural death in an Egyptian household, all the inhabitants would shave their eyebrows!
