Bastet, Stick, Incense Burner has lots of symbolic meaning for you to discover.
Bastet (also called Bast) is an ancient Egyptian deity in the form of a cat. She is often depicted as a seated black cat wearing gold hoop earrings and an elaborate golden scarab necklace.
Because cats have large litters of kittens and are very vocal, Bastet represented both fertility and musicianship to the Egyptians and her aid was petitioned for favors by women wishing to become pregnant as well as by singers and instrumentalists hoping to improve their skills and advance their musical careers.
