اعتقد المصريون أن كل عنصر من عناصر مظهر وسلوك القطط له أهمية أسطورية - حتى أدق التفاصيل. على سبيل المثال ، ترمز العلامات التي تشبه الجعران التي تظهر على جباه القطط المخططة إلى شمس الصباح. تكريمًا لهذه الأسطورة ، تم وضع الجعران بشكل شائع بين آذان التماثيل القطط Egyptians believed that each element of feline appearance and behavior had mythological significance—even the most minute details. For example, scarab-like markings that appear on the foreheads of striped cats symbolized the morning sun. Honoring this myth, scarabs were commonly placed between the ears of feline statues. #Repost @brooklynmuseum #divinefelines #Caturday #Repost Brooklyn, New York #Tutankhamun. #BritishMuseum #egyptianmuseum #MuseumFromHome #bkmegyptianart #ancientring #Egypt #AncientEgyptian #JewelryAncientEgyptian #Jewelleryancientegyptian #ringsancientegyptian #scarabsrings #scarabs #newkingdom #jewellerybloger #instajewelry #egyptological #egyptianjewelry #tutankhamón #18Dynasty #newkingdom #stayhome (at Brooklyn Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpST-9hCAI/?igshid=1uowcaj09zg5y
#Repost @brooklynmuseum • • • • • • Brooklyn Museum Lions are used as symbols of power and protection in the art of many cultures and Ancient Egypt was one of the first cultures to profusely use this symbol. Replacing furniture legs with figures of lions meant that whoever was seated on the chair or throne could count on powerful protection—such is the case with this small bronze throne which belonged to the god, Hor-pa-khered (or Harpokrates), whose figure is now missing. #DivineFelines #Caturday (at Brooklyn Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBXZ4gnh25o/?igshid=19163aj1m2s9t

#Repost @brooklynmuseum • • • • • • Brooklyn Museum Sometimes it seems like we are surrounded by images of adorable cats and kittens everywhere we turn—but what's one more? This bronze statuette was created in Egypt over 2,000 years ago and, in addition to its undeniable cuteness, it represents the goddess Bastet and carries symbols of health, protection, and fertility. #divinefelines #Caturday (at Brooklyn Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA51ohWBJiD/?igshid=9zsr0z595pi4
