The Obsequies of an
Egyptian Cat (1886) by the British painter John Reinhard Weguelin
(1849-1927). A priestess kneels before an altar upon which is placed
the mummy of a cat. She is burning incense, and has presented
offerings of flowers and food to the cat's spirit, together with a
plate of milk. On the wall behind the priestess is an Egyptian
fresco, and a statue of the goddess Sekhmet or Bastet enthroned
guards the entrance to the temple.
