This is an elegant sculpture of an Egyptian pharaoh cat. It is believed that the house cat was first domesticated over 5,000 years ago in the Valley of the Nile. When the people of Egypt chose to settle, they grew crops, which were often fed on by vermin. The people grew to love the cats, and eventually, cats became the property of the divine Pharaoh. They were worshiped, and even buried alongside their masters. Since then cats have become domesticated all over the world, tied back to the roots of the African Wildcat. The symmetry lines and details in this piece are beautiful and also deliver a calming effect on a bystander as most cats do. This bronze sculpture was cast using the Lost Wax Method and has a two-tone brown patina seating on a marble base. Bronze Dimensions with Marble Base: Height 19 X Width 13 inches. Weight: 28 LBS.
