Cat of the Godness Bastet
 | |  |  |  | Published since: June 11, 2008 Last update: April 28, 2009 |
The cat-godness Bastet was the object of a widespread cult in Ancient Egypt. A domesticated version of the ferocious lion-goddess Sekhmet, she was represented in two forms:
- as a cat-headed woman holding a small basket in one hand, a sistrum in the other, and an aegis under her breast
- as a seated she-cat, with her tail wrapped around her front right paw, her ears pricked up and adorned with golden earrings, and a beetle on her head.
