This exquisite piece is of the Egyptian Goddess Bastet in her feline form. A wonderful addition to any Egyptian décor or cat collection.

Made of cold cast resin, this stunning 5 3/8 inch tall statue of Bastet has an antiqued, patinated bronze finish. It is inspired by the famous Gayer-Anderson bronze cat statue, which was found in Saqqara, Egypt and is dated to Late Period Egypt, circa 600 B.C.

Bastet (also known as Baast, Baset or Ubaste) was the daughter of Re, the sun god. She was worshiped in ancient Egypt starting around 2890 BCE. She is the Goddess of cats, protection, fertility, perfume, and the arts.

Because this is a hand painted item the finish may vary slightly.
