Once upon a time in Egypt... - a photo on Flickriver

Mandatory prestudy

Anyone who has a feline companion may have observed the knocking-down-cups-from-the-table syndrome many cats seem to be showing.
And while there is probably extended scientific literature around to explain this behaviour, the general consensus seems to be that cats are pricks but we still love them.
I reckon the ancient Egyptians knew this long before we did so I thought it to be a funny Idea to make a painted wall fragment displaying precisely that. At the same time I grabbed this opportunity to do an extensive SNOT study.

I wasn’t able to include this in my Egyptian temple, it is too big and the yellow background doesn’t match the rest of the temple (some constructions required a specific part that is not available in tan).
I did like working in this scale, it allowed me to put in some more details such as the golden anklet, the striped hair and belt on the female figure. Incase anyone would wonder, the hieroglyphs are printed tiles originating from the very first Naboo Fighter I believe.
