This design features a graceful Egyptian Mau cat posing in an ornate shrine. The cat is surrounded by golden amulets, stone carvings, hieroglyphics and offerings from her earthly subjects. The design is framed by a border of carved golden animals and beaded tassels.

Approximate translation of the hieroglyphics in Bastet’s Bounty:

From left to right:

Bastet, the goddess of Women.

Kind protector, fearsome huntress.

Protector of cats and secrets, defender of the Sun god, fighter of Apep.
