(Shapely doll, 65 cm, La Doll)

How much mystery and mystery Ancient Egypt holds within it. There are tombs, pharaohs, sphinxes, gods and similar wonders.

These stories immerse us headfirst.

Bast or Bastet (Egyptian bȝstt) is the ancient Egyptian goddess of joy, mirth, love, feminine beauty, fertility, hearth and cats. She was depicted as a cat or a woman with a cat's head.

"Why is it red?" you ask.

Red is a symbol of love. I think this combination is where my puzzle came together. The presence of the main symbol is obligatory, without which no Egyptian God is depicted, it is the symbol of life, also it is called the key - Ankh. Turtle - symbolises the processes of creation and support.

So, Bast herself.

It was easier for the people of ancient Egypt to think of her as a sweetheart. For this person, in one of the scenarios, proved not to be the best, turning into a wild tigress and giving the civilians a bloody fight. For which the gods tamed her and turned her into a nice cat. The same one we love so much.

She is a seductress, graceful, feminine, playful.

My own Bast is a beautiful interior bjd doll who loves to flirt with you, dance just for you and make eyes only for you. She will definitely become the jewel of your collection. Agree, it is simply impossible to pass by a beautiful woman.

Looking for a home.

The doll was created for the exhibition "The Art of the Doll", the project "Oh, Gods!
