The cat-headed goddess depicted standing on an integral plinth, wearing a tightly-fitted patterned sheath, holding a fragmented sistrum in her right hand and the aegis of lion-headed Sekhmet in her left at her chest, with a round basket hanging from her left elbow.

The iconographical representation of Bastet presented here is known as the "Housewife Bastet," and was popular during the Late and Ptolemaic periods in Egyptian art. This example is particularly rare for having all three attributes.

Height: 3 1/5" (8.1cm)
Provenance:

Formerly in the collection of the late Paul-Henri Lapointe (1924-1998), renowned architect and prize winner from the Order of Architects in the category History. Mr. Lapointe published several books and articles, and presented many lectures on the subject.
Acquired through travels in Egypt and the Mediterranean, 1960-1970s.

Condition:
The sistrum, once held at the right hand, is broken at the handle, surface remains uncleaned with green oxidation throughout, otherwise a complete example.
Bibliography:

Malek, J.; The Cat in Ancient Egypt, pp. 104-6.

Flexible Payment Plan


*This feature will soon be integrated at checkout 

At Medusa-art.com, we believe that anyone who desires to acquire antiquities should be able to do so. We are passionate about this belief and offer interest-free installments of up to 10 months on particular items (based on item value). Items eligible for payment plan are indicated by clicking on the Payment Plan link found on each item page.

HOW IT WORKS

    Payment plans are available on orders starting at $900.
    A deposit of $300 or 10%, which ever is greater, of the total price is required upon purchase.
    The balance must be paid in installments of at least $300 or 10% per months, whichever is greater.
    Select your monthly payment term from the dropdown menu at checkout.
    Title remains the property of Medusa Ancient Art, Inc. until payment is made in full.
    Your order will ship once payment is made in full. 


NOTE: Some items do not qualify for payment plans. All payment plan orders must be paid within 10 months from the order date. Exceeding this tiem frame will result in forfeiture. To get your order faster, you can pay-off your order in full or increase your monthly payments at any time.

REFUNDS & EXCHANGES on PAYMENT PLANS

You may cancel your payment plan purchase within three (3) months, a 15% restocking-fee will apply. We do not offer refunds or exchanges on items purchased on the payment plan. However, we provide our lifetime money-back guarantee of authenticity. If the piece you purchase is not as represented by Medusa-art.com, you will be refunded the purchase price in full – it’s that simple.
