New ACEO - Egyptian cats

Someone from ebay contacted me this week and asked me if I could do something Egyptian. It's actually been on my "to do" list for a long time - I used to be as interested in Egyptian art as I am now in Japanese. This painting is loosely based on a box lid found in Tutankhamen's tomb depicting his young wife presenting him with lotus flowers. These cats here though aren't royalty - I left off the royal symbols and just dressed them as noble people. Click here to bid!
