Description
Ancient Egyptians believed cats to be the embodiment of Bastet, the goddess of the sun's warmth and life-giving power. Our feline goddess of music, dance, and happiness is modeled after a museum piece from the Glyptotek, located in Copenhagen, Denmark, that dates to the Late Period in Egyptian history (945 and 718 B.C.). She holds a royal ankh and a sistrum, an Egyptian rattle, and stands atop hieroglyph-adorned mount. Our replica sculpture is cast in quality designer resin and hand-painted in a polished basalt finish with antiqued gold accents to highlight every detail. This Design Toscano-exclusive figurine is a treasured work of Egyptian art and makes a great gift for those who love Egyptology!
