Statue of Goddess Bastet

Statue of Goddess Bastet – Egyptian Cat 29 cm

Black Elegance with Golden Details

The statue is made of quality polyresin (synthetic resin), which allows for capturing the smooth lines of the feline body as well as fine decorative details. The surface is hand-painted in deep black, evoking the night sky and mystery. A striking contrast is provided by the radiant gold details:

• A rich necklace (collar) decorated with reliefs.
• A prominent scarab beetle on the chest, symbolising rebirth and the morning sun.
• Gold earrings and lines accentuating the eyes.

The base is decorated with a band of hieroglyphs, underscoring the authentic historical look.

Protector of Home and Family

Bastet (or Bast) was originally a lioness goddess, but over time her form softened into that of a domestic cat. She was worshipped in the city of Bubastis as a benevolent protector against evil spirits and diseases. Ancient Egyptians believed that a cat in the house brought luck and fertility. Bastet was also associated with the sun god Ra. Having her statue at home symbolically means protecting your family.

Care Instructions

Although the statue looks like it is made of stone or metal, it requires gentle handling:

• Placement: The statue is designed strictly for indoor use. Weather conditions (UV radiation, frost, rain) would irreparably damage the hand-painted finish and cause the material to become brittle.
• Cleaning: Wipe dust only with a dry soft cloth or duster. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
• Handling: Polyresin is strong but can shatter if dropped on a hard floor (e.g., tiles).
