Bastet Amulet
Bastet Amulet
Bastet.
Bastet was the Ancient Egyptian feline goddess, and daughter of the almighty Ra. She was the goddess of protection, good health, domestication and the home.
Details:
Golden brass or recycled sterling silver
Hand crafted in the UK.
About 1.5cm - tiny and adorable.
A small bale on the back allows for her to be threaded onto a delicate chain (any of mine fit) or onto a hoop earring!
Please allow up to 3 weeks.
Bastet was also the goddess of women’s secrets (meow), pleasure, perfume, and luxury… Isn’t she fantastic. Bastet had the head of cat and a svelte female body, but she was sometimes depicted as a lioness or a domestic cat. Thousands of little feline figurines have survived the past, and many wearable amulets of cats pay tribute to her popular ancient cult.
Cats were believed to be utterly sacred in ancient Egypt - and the best of us know they still are!
Handmade:
Bastet has been carefully carved from solid jewellers wax, and then magically cast into metal. She’s an everyday treasure intended to last forever.
