Bastet Egyptian Art Stone Sculpture

Bastet Egyptian Art Sculpture

This beautiful museum reproduction art is intricately carved to capture every detail of the original artwork. This Egyptian Art, Bastet Relief with stone finish is quite an exquisite piece for a classical home or office interior design. In the New Kingdom, the male cat was regarded as an incarnation of the Sun God and the female cat was equated with the solar eye. Feline figures may display a scarab, the symbol of the rising sun, engraved on the head or breast thus showing their solar significance. The domestic cat attained special significance as the sacred animal of the Goddess Bastet.
