Silver figure of Bastet
Bastet, standing. This figure has several features that are typical of Roman representations of Bastet. Most noteably: the way in which she holds her situla (which appears as a basket) over her forearm, her decorated dress, and the over-sized sistrum (rattle) in her right hand. The nose has been rubbed and shines as a result.
