Description from the seller
➜ A hand-crafted stone figurine depicting the ancient Egyptian goddess Bastet, shown with her characteristic cat-headed form and standing in a traditional frontal pose. In her right hand, she holds a sistrum, the sacred ritual instrument associated with joy, protection, and divine harmony, closely linked to Bastet’s cult. Hieroglyphic detailing is visible on the reverse, and the statue stands firmly on a rectangular base, reflecting classic Egyptian sculptural conventions.
➜ Why You’ll Love It:
• Faithful Bastet representation with distinctive cat head and sacred sistrum
• Hand crafted statue surface with some wear that adds genuine character
• Powerful symbolism of protection, balance, and spiritual harmony
• A refined and collectible piece inspired by ancient Egyptian tradition
➜ Don’t Miss Out:
Well defined Bastet figures with a sistrum are highly desirable—pieces like this don’t stay available for long.
➜ Height: 19 cm
➜ Width: 5 cm
➜ Weight: 197 gram
➜ Object: Egyptian Statue
➜ Material: Stone
➜ Origin: Egypt
