Lovely black and gold statue of the Egyptian Cat Goddess, Bastet. Made of solid resin.
Height 280 mm

In her earliest forms, the cat goddess Bastet was represented as a woman with the head of a lion or a wild cat. She took the less ferocious form of a domestic cat in the first millennium BCE.

In later periods she was often represented as a regal-looking seated cat, sometimes wearing rings in her ears or nose. In the Ptolemaic period she came to be associated with the Greek goddess Artemis. the divine hunter and goddess of the moon.
