Very nice hand-carved Egyptian cat (Bastet) with cobra.
Bastet was the goddess of fire, cats, of the house and the pregnant women.

She appeared from the 2nd Dynasty on and was considered to be a protector of the Pharaoh. Usually she has a sistrum. She may also be displayed as a mother who suckles her young.
