Bastet is known as the cat goddess. However, she was initially worshipped in the form of a lioness. Around 1000 BC, she came to be depicted as a cat or a human with a cat's head. Cats are said to be the first animals domesticated by the ancient Egyptians. Cat bones have been discovered from the tombs of nobles in Hierakonpolis around 6000 BC, during the Predynastic Period of Egypt. It is believed that they were domesticated in the late 4th millennium BC. The center of Bastet worship was Bubastis in Lower Egypt. Originally, Bastet is thought to have been a local deity of Bubastis. In Bubastis, cats were considered the sacred animals of Bastet, and numerous cats were mummified and buried in underground tombs. 【Height】 31cm ※Please note that there may be slight errors due to amateur measurements. 【Width: Depth】 17cm x 27cm ※Please note that there may be slight errors due to amateur measurements. 【Weight】 4.25kg ※Please note that there may be slight errors due to amateur measurements. 【Condition】 There are signs of aging, metal corrosion, rust, and dirt, but the item is in good condition. ※Please check the images for details. ◎We do not accept returns due to the buyer's circumstances, such as "it's different from the image," "it doesn't fit," or "it's no longer needed," so please bid carefully.
