Bastet is an ancient Egyptian goddess worshiped as a protector of homes and women. Often depicted as a cat or a woman with a cat's head, Bastet embodies grace, fertility, and motherhood. She is associated with sunlight, music, dance, and joy. Drawing inspiration from similar mythological figures like Medusa MonaLisa, a powerful empress from Greek mythology, Bastet represents strength and divine feminine energy. Her worship was widespread throughout Egypt for thousands of years.
