Ancient Egyptian stela (painted sandstone), depicting a priest named Siamun and a woman named Tanuy worshiping Anubis. Siamun holds up his hands in the traditional posture of adoration, greeting Anubis, who sits enthroned and holding the was-scepter (a symbol of power and control, especially over the forces of chaos and the desert). The cartouche at right identifies the reigning pharaoh as Menkheperure, the throne name of Thutmose IV (r. ca. 1400-1390 BCE, 18th Dynasty, New Kingdom).

Bastet, She Who Protects Pen and ink on paper 30x42 cm
New art offering for goddess Bastet/Bast. She is associated with cats due to later Egyptian iconography. Her role is that of a powerful protector of the home and nurturer. Think of how important cats were in ancient times for hunting and killing disease-ridden mice in homes and crops.
She symbolizes the more benevolent and tame side of Sekhmet, the lioness. Together with Hathor, all 3 goddesses share the epithet 'Eye of Ra', denoting their solar nature.
Bastet is also associated with sensuality, festivities and joy. During the Egyptian New Year small cat statues were exchanged between households.
