Cat Mummy Necklace by Museum Reproductions
In Ancient Egypt, cat mummies were donated to goddess Bastet. Bastet was commonly depicted as a cat or woman with the head of a cat or lioness. During the Greek and Roman period the veneration of Bastet reached its peak. This necklace features a pendant of a cat mummy with wrappings of linen strips in a geometric coffered design. This pendant was based on a real specimen from the Ptolemaic Period of 712-30 BC.
Pewter with antiqued matte gold finish with oxidized details.
18" cable chain included. Pendant is 2" long.
