This is a pewter pendant of the Egyptian Goddess, Bastet. The pendant comes with a black necklace cord and a story card. Bastet is the Egyptian Goddess of Pleasure. She loves music and dance. She was also the protectress of people's health. She offered protection from both disease and negative energies. Bastet is a Cat Goddess, and scholars believe that she was once a lion deity. Her role as preserver of her devotees' well being was found in the rage a lioness shows when her cubs are threatened. The Greek historian, Herotodus records that the festival of Bastet was a very elegant affair, and that Egyptians from all over the country would flock to her temple which still exists in Bubastis.
