This is what hieroglyphs and figures in ancient Egyptian temples looked like before their colors faded. They were recreated using a polychromatic light display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, following thorough research.

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.
