Description

An ancient Egyptian cat takes over bread-making duties while a mouse attempts to steal a bit of dough. The hieroglyphs and (determinatives) say, "The (Mouse) Thief and the Baker (Cat)", roughly pronounced "Itchoo Ertekhtee". The cat is using a traditional food-preparation table that allowed scraps or loose flour to roll to the bottom for reuse.

While this is in the style of the British Museum's "Animals Behaving Like People", this is an original design in modern replacements for period pigments and not an image in the public domain. Acrylic on sustainable papyrus.
