Deze oorspronkelijk volledig vergulde figuur van Bastet, is wat formele uitvoering betreft, maar vooral vanwege het in vele plooien vallende gewaad met de Isisknoop op de borst, geheel ontleend aan de hellenistisch-romeinse beelteniswereld. Een kleine figuur van de god Bes met kromme benen (grotendeels afgebroken) stond rechts van Bastet op een verhoging. De godin, die afgebeeld is als een vrouw met de kop van een kat, houdt in haar rechterhand een sistrum, terwijl op haar linkerarm een naakt kind rust, dat met beide handen naar de mond reikt.

This figure of Bastet was originally entirely gilded. Its modelling is much indebted to Graeco-Roman art, as is apparent not only from its formal appearance but also from the garment with its many folds which has the Isis knot on the chest. A small figure of the god Bes has now largely disappeared, but his deformed legs are still visible to the right of the goddess on the base. Bastet is represented standing upright in mainly human form but with the head of a cat. She is holding a sistrum in her right hand and her left hand supports a nude child, whose two hands are brought up towards its mouth.

Cette statue, qui était à l'origine complètement dorée, montre clairement l'influence de l'art hellénistique. Ceci est perceptible, pas seulement grâce à son style formel, mais avant tout à cause de la robe à nombreux plis, nouée en dessous de la poitrine par un noeud d'Isis. Une petite figure du dieu Bès se tenait à droite de Bastet mais a presque entièrement disparu. La déesse est représentée avec le corps d'une femme et la tête d'un chat et tient un sistre dans sa main droite. Dans la main gauche elle porte un enfant nu, qui porte les deux mains à la bouche.

La figura di Bastet, in origine integralmente dorata, è eseguita in maniera classica, ma chiaramente legata all'ambito dei ritratti greco-romani, in particolare per quanto riguarda la veste pieghettata con il nodo di Iside sul petto. Una piccola figura del dio Bes con le gambe arcuate (in gran parte mancante) è in piedi su una base, a destra, dinanzi a Bastet. La figura stante della dea antropomorfa con testa di gatto regge nella mano destra un sistrum, mentre sul braccio sinistro riposa un bambino nudo, che porta ambedue le mani alla bocca.

Esta figura de Bastet era originalmente toda dourada. O modo como foi trabalhada deve muito à arte greco-romana, como se pode ver n&atilde;o só pela sua aparência formal mas também pelo trajo com as muitas pregas, com o nó de &Iacute;sis no peito. Uma pequena figura do deus Bes desapareceu agora em grande parte, mas as suas pernas deformadas s&atilde;o ainda visíveis à direita da deusa, perto da base. Bastet está representada de pé, direita, com corpo humano mas com cabeça de gata. Segura um sistro na m&atilde;o direita e na esquerda segura uma criança nua cujas m&atilde;os se erguem até à boca.

Ésta estatua, que en su origen estaba completamente dorada, muestra claramente la influencia del arte grecoromana. Esto se percibe gracias al vestido de numerosos plieges, anudado debajo del pecho por un nudo de Isis. Una pequeña figura del dios Bes se colocaba a la derecha de Bastet, casí ha desaparecido completamente. La diosa está representada con el cuerpo de una mujer y la cabeza de gata, sujetando un sistro con la mano derecha. Con la mano izquierda sostiene a un niño desnudo con ambas manos en la boca.
