Baset Egyptian Cat statue protection 17”H x 6.5”W x 10.25”D Bronze color. Heavy

Bastet is the Egyptian goddess of the home, domesticity, women's secrets, cats, fertility, and childbirth. She protected the home from evil spirits and disease, especially diseases associated with women and children. As with many deities in Egyptian religion, she also played a role in the afterlife.

She is sometimes depicted as a guide and helper to the dead although this was not one of her primary duties. She was the daughter of the sun god Ra and is associated with the concept of the Eye of Ra (the all-seeing eye) and the Distant Goddess (a female deity who leaves Ra and returns to bring transfromation). Bastet was one of the most popular deities of ancient Egypt as she was the protector of everyone's home and family.

This is a stunning statue, originally purchased in P Town, Cape Cod for $500. Keep it in your home or business facing the door to keep all negativity from entering. It originally had two earrings and a nose ring. One of the rings is missing, but could easily replaced.
