And today it is Bastet, by. Ekaterina Shubina

(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 my puzzle came together in this combination. The main symbol without which no Egyptian God is depicted is the symbol of life, also called the Ankh, the key. The 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 seductive, graceful, feminine and playful.

My Bast is a beautiful interior bjd doll who loves to flirt with you, dance just for you and make eyes only for you. She is sure to be the jewel of your collection. You must agree, it's 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!
