Description
Bastet is an ancient Egyptian goddess, originally depicted with the head of a lioness or desert sand cat. Over time, her image evolved to include a domestic cat, and she became associated with home, fertility, and protection. Bastet was revered as a benevolent deity, often portrayed as a nurturing and protective force.
She was particularly popular during the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt (1550–1070 BCE) and was celebrated in various festivals. Bastet was considered a guardian of the home, and many Egyptian households kept small statues or amulets of her for good fortune and protection.
Bastet's image underwent a transformation, and she became associated with the domestic cat due to the animal's graceful and protective qualities. Cats were highly regarded in ancient Egyptian society, and harming one, even accidentally, was considered a serious crime.
Bastet's worship included elaborate temples, with the most significant one located in the city of Bubastis. The temple complex featured grand festivals, attracting pilgrims from various parts of Egypt.
In addition to her role as a protector of home and family, Bastet was also associated with music, dance, and joy. She played a multifaceted role in the Egyptian pantheon, embodying both maternal and playful characteristics.
This beautifully crafted bowl features a hand-painted floral and bird motif on a soft blue porcelain base. Intricately detailed bronze-finish handles and an ornate pedestal base add a sense of timeless luxury. Ideal as a centerpiece for classic interiors or an elegant accent for consoles and tables.
Dimensions (H x W x D): approx. 24 x 42 x 32 cm (9.4" x 16.5" x 12.6")
Material: Porcelain body with antique-finish metal handles and stand

Egyptian Bastet with Ankh Cat
It was beautifully made & enjoyed by the receiver.

Arrived when expected and the item is beautiful. Looks quality and great detail. It is a gift for someone and I don't think they'll be disappointed with it. Also, I had some concerns about delivery time as I was on a tight schedule but had plenty of communication with the seller and it was delivered by Royal Mail which was reassuring.

This is a gift for my wife who loves owls. This piece of Steampunk art takes the wise bird whom Athena in Greek mythology favours to an entirely new level. I love steampunk art and my wife is quite impressed with this figurine which is well made and quite unique.
