$269.00
Bastet was the goddess of protection, pleasure, and the bringer of good health. She had the head of a cat and a slender female body. The daughter of Ra, sister of Sekhmet, the wife of Ptah, and the mother of Mihos, Bastet was worshiped as a deity since the second dynasty, most commonly in Lower Egypt. Her form and powers changed over the years.
It was believed that every day she would ride through the sky with her father, the sun god Ra. As his boat pulled the sun through the sky she would watch over and protect him. At night, she would turn into a cat to protect Ra from his greatest enemy, the serpent Apep.
She is also known as the Goddess of the Moon and was thought to be the eye of the moon and the eye of Ra. Bastet is still worshipped today and her protection is believed by some to be cast over modern cats.

This item is made of Cold Cast Bronze Polyresin.

Cold cast bronze is when real powdered bronze metal is mixed in with resin. It is then cast into a mould creating a very realistic replica of a solid bronze piece. This process creates a high quality piece with much greater detail than you will see with a solid bronze piece. These pieces are hand painted to bring out beautiful detail.
