Late one night, the mighty pharaoh Khafra studied the plans for his impressive tomb at Giza.  His brow was heavy with the weight of all Egypt resting on him.  He glanced up from the papyrus roll to see his beloved cat laying in noble repose on the desk.  The creature was unconcerned that it was creasing papyrus pages bearing the royal seal of a dozen nations. It was unimpressed to by laying in the presence of the mighty pharaoh.  It looked condescendingly at Khafra and blinked slowly.  Pharaoh obediently gave the cat a portion of his midnight snack. Suddenly, in a burst of inspiration, Khafra knew what shape to give his tomb.  He would call it, The Sphinx.

Khaframau is impressed only with himself which endears him to the mighty Pharaoh.

Khaframau is based on a hairless breed of cat affectionately named Sphynx. This doll wears a 'nemes', a headcloth such as worn by Tutankhamen.  He carries a crook and flail which are symbols of kingship.

Khaframou's jeweled sandals remind us of the Egyptian's passion for artistry in fashion.

True to the Egyptian theme, this doll is dressed in sheer fabrics focusing on the simplicity of design while embellished and adorned with an array of unique details. Hand beaded collar, bracelets and kilt panel together with the use of sheer fabrics place this fellow in an ancient landscape of imposing monuments where cats were honored.
