Descrizione : [ Egyptian Antiquities ] [ Bronze ] Saite Period, 26 th Dynasty, 664 525 BC. A large bronze cat, extremely weathered and corroded exposing the dark core within. A very interesting example of how bronze breaks down, showing nice malachite and azurite clusters, as well as many other copper minerals. Basically the entire left side is missing, including front let and side of head. H: 4in and mounted on a wooden base. This piece would make a great display piece and recalls a time a few years past your cataloguer enjoyed a tour below the Cairo museum and saw a room filled with boxes of bronze objects weathered away like this one, some perhaps 2 feet in height or nearly a hundred pounds!
