The popularity of Bastet’s cult from the Late Period to the Ptolemaic Period led to the creation of a large number of seated cat statuettes. This cat is seated with head held erect and tail curled to the right. Her expression is attentive with ears slightly back. These features express the essence of a cat being dignified and aware. The left ear of the cat was pierced and wears a modern gold earring.

Together they connect her with the sun god, Re, and emphasize her roles as his daughter, as the “Eye of the Sun,” and as protector of the king. The goddess stands with arms at her side and is clothed in a gown to her ankles. The lioness wears bracelets and armlets and a multi-strand broad collar on her chest. Her head is covered by a combination of a tripartite wig and leonine mane. Her eyes were once inlaid. High-waisted torsos and long legs are typical for the Third Intermediate Period, along with finely detailed incision.  The statuette was once part of the Dr. Jacob von Hirsch (1874-1955) collection and sold at the auction, Collection Hirsch: antiquités égyptiennes, grecques et romaines (Paris: Hôtel Drouot, 1921), lot number 33.

Garuda's mother Vinata and her co-wife Kadru had engaged in a wager that Vinata lost, which resulted in her life-long servitude to Kadru's serpent sons. The serpents told Garuda that he and his mother would be released from servitude only if he would bring to them the amrita (the nectar of immortality) that lay in the hands of the gods. Knowing he would have to fight the gods to procure the amrita, Garuda asked his father Kashyapa for some food to strengthen him. His father directed him towards a tortoise and elephant that were fighting at a nearby lake; they were, he explained, two fighting brothers who had been sages. In their anger, one sage had cursed the other to become an elephant and the other cursed his brother to become a tortoise. Eating these, Kashyapa assured his son, would give him the strength he required to obtain the amrita. Garuda grabbed the elephant in one claw and the tortoise in the other and flew with them to a magnificent tree. The tree trembled under his weight and he realized the branch upon which he was sitting was filled with Brahmans performing penance. He broke off the large limb they were inhabiting and carried it in his beak to a great mountain, where he gently put them down and proceeded to eat the elephant and tortoise. To retrieve the amrita, Garuda battled Indra and the other gods. He defeated all of them except for Vishnu, who was himself injured. Vishnu promised, then, that Garuda would become immortal and become his vahana.
