Notlar	Representations of cats are well-known in Ancient Egypt from the 2nd millennium BCE. The onomatopoetic Egyptian name was "miu" (mjw) for the male, and "mit" (mjjt) for the female cat. Egypt's economic base was agriculture and therefore rodent- and snake-hunting felines were very much appreciated. In terms of religious beliefs the male cat was connected to the sun-god, and the female cat to Bastet. Particularly in the Late Period and Ptolemaic period, representations of the goddess as well as cats and cats with kittens became very popular to symbolize fertility and renewal. Amulets worn in daily life could also offer powerful protection in the afterlife. Women wore cat amulets to place themselves under the patronage of Bastet, goddess of fertility and joy. The cat, noted for its fertility, was the deity's sacred animal. This amulet presents an upright seated cat with an oval ornament in the middle of her chest. The ears are very large in comparison to the head, and the eyes protrude. The amulet has a rectangular base and a loop behind the cat's neck.For the latest information about this object, pendants; amulets; figurines, visit art.thewalters.org. \| Dynasty: Ptolemaic Dynasty \| Inscriptions: \| Reign: \| Style: \| more \| less
