Feline Images
The art in ancient Egypt was full with cat images in mural paintings, palace decorations, bronze and wood statues of all sizes jewels and other artifacts. Some cats appear at domestic scenes; sitting at the feet of their owners, for example, or on the lap of a woman, or in the hunting grounds, where they seemed to be used by the hunters to make the birds come out and maybe to recover the pieces.
