Catat of the goddess Bastet / Late period 664-332 BC

Bastet is a solar deity and goddess of fertility, as well as protective of pregnant women. It also had power over solar eclipses. When the Greeks arrived in Egypt, they associated Bastet with Artemis and she ceased to be the goddess of the sun to be the goddess of the moon.

The goddess has been present in the pantheon since the time of the II dynasty. She was represented as a woman with a cat's head, who held the sacred musical instrument in her hand. Sometimes he had a big earring in his ear, as well as a necklace and a basket where he placed the young. It could also be represented as a simple cat.
