Cat jewelry was very trendy
For more than 3,000 years, cats were symbols of social and religious practices in ancient Egypt. Many Egyptian deities were made statues with cat-shaped heads representing fertility, power, and justice. The Egyptians also wore detailed cat-themed jewelry and mummified cats adorned with iron and beaded collars.
Many Egyptians worshipped the goddess Bast, who had a woman’s body and a cat’s head. She was a mother figure. Women of the time would buy amulets of this goddess having a distinct number of kittens, representing the number of children they wished to have. Now, look at this picture. Can you find the cat? There are not many explanations as to why a pile of fur was left on a fence. Thankfully, this cat has been located.
