Бронзова статуетка на котешката богиня Бастет (Bronze Figurine of the Cat-headed Goddess Bastet)

 Никола Бенин


Застанала с вдигната дясна ръка, държейки егида с лъвска глава, Бастет, или Басс е божеството покровител на град Бубастис (Пер-Баст). 

Като дъщеря на Ре, бога на слънцето, Бастет е древно божество, чиято свирепа природа е подобрена след опитомяването на котката около 1500 г. пр.н.е. Тази статуетка датира от късния период, ок. 664-332 г. пр.н.е. 

Сега в частната колекция.

This statuette dates to the Late Period, ca. 664-332 BC.
