This miniature Pewter Collectible Cat is hand cast in New Zealand. This Pewter Figurine makes an ideal Pewter Collectible.
Pewter is a metal alloy. It is a combination of more than one metal that consists mainly of tin. Pewter can look very similar to silver. No one knows exactly when or how pewter was invented. Chinese pewter, believed to be about 2,000 years old, has been found. Romans used pewter for small utensils and seals.
The cat was first domesticated some 5000 years ago. This took place in the valley of the Nile, in what is now Sudan but was then Upper Egypt. Their domestication had a practical purpose and that was to protect stored grain from being ravished by mice and other vermin.
