A richly decorated altar for your home or garden to worship Bast aka Bastet, who was worshiped in Bubastis in Lower Egypt, originally as a lioness goddess, a role shared by other deities such as Sekhmet. Eventually Bastet and Sekhmet were characterized as two aspects of the same goddess, with Sekhmet representing the powerful warrior and protector aspect and Bastet, who increasingly was depicted as a cat, representing a gentler aspect.
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. She was also depicted as the goddess of protection against contagious diseases and evil spirits.

Perfect altar for the price. It was a nice set up and can be shrunk or enlarged.
If you are looking for a starter altar for Bast this will do just fine until you find your perfect altar.

Thank you for the share of this product. :)
