Awesome! Thank you!
It’s an ancient concept, depicted several times over history. The oldest one is an old Chinese tale (and related paintings) that has an emperor cutting his sleeve to avoid disturbing his sleeping lover (a younger man). So famous that “cut sleeve passion” became euphemism for homosexuality in China.
In Islam, there is an apocryphal story of the prophet Muhammad doing this for his cat Muezza.
I would say that if this is actually old then it might be one of the oldest memes
