This is an ancient Egyptian wooden cat-shaped coffin (or cat-shaped mummy box). In ancient Egypt, cats were seen as incarnations of the gods, especially associated with the goddess Bastet. This hollow wooden sculpture is specially designed to hold the coffin of a cat mummy. X-ray examination confirmed that many of these sculptures contained a complete cat mummy inside. Cats were mummified and placed in elaborate coffins, usually as offerings to the temple, intended to serve as messengers between humans and the divine world through the animal's soul.
