Vintage Egyptian Bastet Cat Statue Hand Carved Stone Composite

Beautiful vintage Bastet cat statue. This artisan-crafted figurine depicts Bastet, the ancient Egyptian goddess of protection, home, fertility, and grace, making it a meaningful decorative piece for collectors and history enthusiasts alike. Expertly hand-finished with intricate carved details, the statue features a richly engraved ceremonial collar with an Eye of Horus (Wedjat) motif, a symbol of protection and good fortune. Its striking lapis blue finish is reminiscent of the colors treasured in ancient Egyptian art. The piece has a substantial weight and appears to be crafted from reconstituted stone (stone composite), giving it the look and feel of carved stone while allowing for the fine artisan detailing throughout. Measures approximately 9.5 inches tall. It is in great vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age. There are a few small nicks on the back, which are shown in the pictures. There also appears to be a faint handwritten mark or number on the base, though it is not fully legible. Approximate Age: Likely late 1970s to 1990s. A beautiful statement piece for collectors of Egyptian art. Pick up downtown Calgary, parking available, cash only please
