Description from the seller
➜ A finely hand crafted bronze figurine depicting Bastet, the beloved cat goddess of protection, fertility, and household harmony. She is shown seated upright in the traditional pose, with the elegant feline features characteristic of Bastet worship during Egypt’s Late Period.
The figure rests on a rectangular ribbed pedestal, a classic feature of votive bronzes placed in temples and home shrines. The surface preserves green and brown patina, typical of ancient bronze, giving the statue a strong archaeological presence.
Despite related wear, the modelling of the head, ears, and body retains excellent character, making this a highly atmospheric and collectible example of Egyptian bronze craftsmanship.
Such bronze figures of Bastet were cherished as amulets and offerings, believed to bring protection, good fortune, and safeguarding of the household.
➜ Why You’ll Love It:
• Represents Bastet, one of Egypt’s most beloved and protective deities.
• Beautiful patina that enhances archaeological looking.
• Hand-crafted detailing with strong feline character.
• A classic votive bronze with excellent display presence.
