Ancient Egyptians believed cats to be the embodiment of Bastet, the goddess of the sun’s warmth and life-giving power. Cats were so revered that they were often mummified upon death, and buried in cat-shaped sarcophagi. This oversized sarcophagus is a replica modeled after a museum piece from the time of Queen Twosret of the 19th dynasty. Our highly detailed, cold cast resin reproduction is hand painted in a rich ebony and gold-metallic finish and features brass accents.
