Description

Yep, that's a modern human Bastet. Who is Bastet? For everybody who doesn't know it, Bastet is the egyptian goddess of cats, protection, joy, dance, music, and love. And she is the protector of pregnant women. Bastet is often featured as cat or as woman with a cat head. If you want to know more about it, just read it in wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastet.&…;

I'm fascinated about the ancient Egypt since I was a little child. I always watched this documentaries about pharaohs and pyramids. And I also read a lot of egyptian novels. (:

I didn't want to just copy Bastet, I wanted something different and then I got the idea to create a modern Bastet with tattoos and piercings.

For the tattoos and the necklace I used any images from google with the tags "Bastet" and "egyptian" :'D
