Veronese Design 10 Inch Bastet Egyptian Goddess of Protection Resin Sculpture Marble White Finish

Bastet or Bast is an Egyptian goddess, known as the goddess of home, fertility, and childbirth. She was also protector of the pharaoh, cats, women, and children. Portrayed as a lioness in early Egyptian mythology, she later took the form of a domesticated cat in her gentler aspect. She is famously remembered today as the "cat goddess." Bastet was also associated with the Eye of Ra, a powerful protective deity, and the "Lady of the East." She was immensely popular throughout Egypt, with her chief shrine at the city of Bubastis in the Nile Delta, which became a powerful city due to her worship.
