Cat Face Hooks

It's been quite a week, so that means it's time for another example of pareidolia.

I've seen these coat hooks for a number of years, about six times a year, in fact. 

Maybe they have been partially covered up a lot of those times, but yesterday they were empty and I realized that I see a rather leonine face in the lower half. A royal cat of some kind, given the fancy crown.

There are three of them in all, and the effect is strongest on the center one, where the hooks are seen straight on, and when you look close up so you can see the screws — which make the eyes — more clearly.

I see the cat. It also makes me think of Ganesha.

Yes! And I was also thinking of a monkey king of some kind, somewhere in the back of my memory.

Cross my heart, I thought of Hanuman before leaning to Ganesha.
