The powerful protector goddess of lower Egypt, Bastet 's, or Bast's, very name means "the devourer," indicating the ferocity for which she was known in defending her own. This small statue offers a representation of her not unlike that which was found in ancient Egypt.
Standing 5 3/4" tall and 3 3/4" deep, it is the image of a cat sitting on her haunches and decorated in the jewels of Egyptian royalty, and marked with the Eye of Horus. The whole of the cold-cast resin sculpture is also black, with the exception of gold accents that clearly illustrate Bastet's features.
