Object in Focus: The Gayer-Anderson Cat by Neal Spencer
The Gayer-Anderson Cat has been one of the most admired objects at the British Museum since its arrival in 1947. This book presents a detailed description of the cat and 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 modern history, from its acquisition by the British Army major and avid antiquities collector John Gayer-Anderson to its donation to the British Museum. The fascinating narrative is complemented by outstanding new photography.
Neal Spencer is a curator at the British Museum, with responsibility for the Late Period, Graeco-Roman and Coptic collections.
