Description

Our adorable bookmark is based on an an Egyptian sculpture made in the Late Dynastic period (712–332 B.C.) and now in The Met collection. The original bronze cat figure, found in Saqqara, is hollow, indicating that it was probably used as a container for mummified remains. In its subtle modeling and stylized features, the sculptor has captured the lithe aloofness and dignity characteristic of the feline. A collar is engraved around the neck, from which is suspended an wedjat-eye pectoral for protection and well-being.
