Egyptian Statue Cat Goddess Bast Bastet Large Elegant Ancient Mother

Tall Standing Bastet Statue with Sistrum  in faux bronze with hand painted detail. This is a gorgeous work of art and a very unique depiction of the Cat Goddess. Tall, sleek and subtle colors accent this hand finished piece. 15.5 inches high (39.37cm) Egyptian Goddess Bastet stands guard as she holds her musical rattle, the sistrum, and her cat-headed puppet-like hand cover. We often see her holding this cat headed puppet in reliefs where she offers them to the pharoahs. The sistrum contains a small cat and has a cat face as well. Subtle hand painted detail makes this exquisite statue worthy of the most elegant mantle or altar. Sistrum comes with the statue as an accessory. This Spirit helper is resourceful, strong and fearless. Cats represent magic, courage and confidence, and encourage agility of the body and mind. The Ancient Egyptians revered cats, which were mummified and even buried in great tombs with their owners. Bast is the Goddess of cats, the rising sun, the moon, truth, enlightenment, sexuality, physical pleasures, fertility, plenty, protector of the home, civilization, the arts, the Maiden aspect of the Triple Goddess.
