Egyptian Art figurine Goddess Bastet Head Sandstone
Bastet was originally a fierce lioness warrior goddess of the sun worshiped throughout most of ancient Egyptian history, but later she was changed into the cat goddess that is familiar today, becoming Bastet
She then was depicted as the daughter and consort of Atum-Ra, with whom she had a son, the lion god Maahes.
As protector of Lower Egypt, she was seen as defender of the king, and consequently of the sun god, Ra.
Along with other deities such as Hathor, Sekhmet, and Isis, Bastet was associated with the Eye of Ra.
She has been depicted as fighting the evil snake named Apep, an enemy of Ra.
In addition to her solar connections, sometimes she was called eye of the moon
Bastet was also a goddess of pregnancy and childbirth, possibly because of the fertility of the domestic cat.
Images of Bastet often were created from alabaster.
The goddess was sometimes depicted holding a ceremonial sistrum in one hand and an aegis in the other—the aegis usually resembling a collar or gorget, embellished with a lioness head.
Bastet also was depicted as the goddess of protection against contagious diseases and evil spirits
