19th Century Mummified Cat

You don't have to walk around Whitechapel in 1888 to feel cold... You just have to observe the behavior of our homo sapiens ancestors... In feudal times, the devil, witchcraft, taboos and superstitions were well listened to... Think: the evil one could take several forms, including the black cat... it was obvious. To protect against the evil eye, a black cat was walled up alive in the foundations of a building.... The animal seems to have huddled up for its last rattle of incomprehension. We therefore find these creatures parchmented during work in old buildings. This practice continued until the 18th century. Once placed on a base or placed on parchment, it can continue to bear witness... Long live the mummy
