Bastet, Lady of the Home

In ancient Egypt cats were sacred to Bast, or Bastet, the goddess of love. She was often shown as a woman with a cat's head.

She protected the home, mothers and children. Egyptians read the male cat as the sun god and the female cat as the solar eye.

Cats in Bronze

Cat figures became very common in the Late Period. A hollow-cast bronze cat in Brooklyn dates from 664 to 343 BC.

It bears a sacred eye on the neck and a scarab on the brow. An Egyptian cat bracelet carries a tiny version of that guardian.

Wearing and Display

Wear the Bastet cat charm bracelet alone so the cat swings freely. Wipe with a soft cloth.

A Bastet link bracelet suits cat lovers of every age. See more in our Egyptian Museum Replicas and Museum Jewelry Bracelets.
