The Gayer-Anderson Cat has been one of the most admired objects at the British Museum since its arrival in 1947. A superb example of ancient metal craftsmanship, its elegant form, gold jewellery and elaborate necklace with solar symbols encapsulate for many the mysterious nature of Egyptian religion. This book presents a detailed description of the Cat, illustrated by outstanding new photography, as well as a discussion of its possible meaning and role in ancient times. Surprising new finds from scientific analyses are presented for the first time, shedding light on the Cat's somewhat traumatic modern history, from its acquisition by the British Army major and avid antiques collector John Gayer-Anderson to its donation to the British Museum.
