I found a photo by John O’Sullivan in a 2003 RodCrafters Journal of a mummified cat with a split diamonds and other geometric wraps. I did a quick search and found a few more photos.

As John mention in the Journal- It sort of makes you humble, doesn’t it? Our patterns aren’t so very new, after all.

Just think the Egyptians didn’t have Billy’s book either.

Did you notice the taper on that one cat from the shoulders to the toes? That must have been quite a challenge : ) Would have been a lot easier to wrap a mummified snake.
