介绍（中）	巴斯特在这里表现为一个猫头女神，是一个强大的保护性人物，她也以生育能力而闻名。她也可以用狮子头来表现，但作为一个猫头女神，她的和平特质被强调了。她的个人装饰和服装都是在小雕像上精心制作的，通常比其他女神更为精致，而且她通常具有许多特征。这个人物可能曾经拥有至少两个单独的属性，可能是胸部的盾牌和另一只手的剑突。她的连衣裙有一个精致的条纹图案，带有交替的虚线和线带。巴斯特并不总是穿着装饰的衣服，但这对她来说比其他女神更常见。图案突出了其工艺和质量；此外，正如一些人所说，垂直条纹可能会让人想起猫身上的条纹皮毛这尊雕像非常注重细节和颜色。Bastet的眼睛里仍然可以看到镶嵌物，她宽大的衣领上交替着一排排贵金属和黑色青铜镶嵌物。这件作品的另一个特点是底座；与大多数雕像上的铭文或空白登记册不同，这个底座上有重复的莲花和花蕾图案 Bastet的主要崇拜中心位于三角洲的Bubastis，在那里发现了数以千计的猫木乃伊和大量的猫雕像。然而，她的崇拜远远超出了布巴斯蒂斯，而这位女神的雕像，如猫或猫头，是晚期和托勒密时期最受欢迎的献礼之一。
介绍（英）	Bastet, here shown as a cat-headed goddess, was a powerful protective figure who also was known for her fertility. She could be represented with a lion head as well, but as a cat-headed goddess her peaceful traits were emphasized. Her personal adornments and garments are elaborate on statuettes, often more so than other goddesses, and she usually carries numerous attributes. This figure likely once held at least two separately-attached attributes, probably an aegis against her chest and a sistrum in her other hand. Her dress has an elaborate striped pattern with alternating dotted and lined bands. Bastet does not always wear a decorated dress, but it is much more common for her than for other goddesses. The patterning highlights its craftsmanship and quality; also, as some have suggested, the vertical banding may recall the striped fur of a cat. Great attention to detail and color was lavished on this figure. Inlays are still visible in Bastet’s eyes, and alternating rows of precious metal and black bronze inlay form her broad collar. Also special to this piece is the base; rather than an inscription or blank register, as on most statuettes, this base bears a pattern of repeated lotus blossoms and buds. Bastet’s main cult center was at Bubastis in the Delta, where thousands of cat mummies and a large number of cat statuettes were discovered. Her cult extended far beyond Bubastis, however, and statuettes of this goddess, as a cat or cat-headed, were among some of the most popular dedications of the Late and Ptolemaic Periods.
