Bastet

Posted by Jonathan (Hougang, Singapore) on 23 May 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Bast was a lion goddess of the sun throughout most of Ancient Egyptian history. By the Middle Kingdom she came to be regarded as a domestic cat rather than a lioness. Occasionally, however, she was depicted holding a lioness mask, hinting at potential ferocity.
