This kitten coffin is one of the oldest objects in the Soulful Creatures. Before the ancient Egyptians donated mummified animals, they sent messages to the gods with votive statues of the same animals. This object that contains two mummified kittens and sculptures of them represents the transition in practice. Posted by Elizabeth TreptowKitten Coffin, 850-540 B.C.E. Bronze, animal remains, linen.
