介绍（中）	巴斯特女神坐在一个正面倾斜的讲台上的宝座上。在这个斜坡上，两组楼梯位于一个光滑的中心区域两侧，上面刻着一个护身符"[这是]巴斯特，他为[我]创造了保护和生命。"王座两侧装饰着两组人物，包括几个狮子头或蛇的形状，许多人拿着酒杯女神本人造型精致，臀部沉重，与第三个中期时期有关。她有一双镶嵌的眼睛，她把与巴斯特有关的韦赫权杖放在身上，而右手则在权杖的底部拿着一个脚链符号装饰底座的人物与滗水器有关，这是即将进行的研究中详细讨论的主题。简言之，滗水最初与恒星联系在一起用于计时，与10天的单位有关，因此一年中会有36个滗水，剩下的5天则各不相同。在某种程度上，与计时的严格联系发生了变化，癸烷获得了以狮子和蛇为主的图像。这些人物开始出现在护身符类型的物品上，尤其是像这样的狮头女神雕像。据推测，这些图像与Re女神的危险之眼的安抚有关，因为通常——就像这里一样——decan人物拿着酒杯，回忆起女神阻止人类毁灭的醉酒。
介绍（英）	The goddess Bastet sits on a throne on top of a podium that has a slanting front. On this ramp two sets of stairs flank a smooth central area inscribed with an amuletic formula "[this is] Bastet who makes protection and life for [me]." The throne is decorated on either side with two registers of figures, including several of lion-headed or snake form, many holding wine cups. The goddess herself is finely modeled, and has the heavy hips associated with the Third Intermediate Period. She had inlaid eyes, and against her body she holds the wekh-scepter associated with Bastet, while in her right hand she holds an ankh sign by its base. The figures decorating the base are associated with the decans, a topic discussed in detail in a forthcoming study. In brief, the decans were originally associated with stars for time-keeping, related to units of 10 days so that there would be 36 decans for a year, with provision for the five remaining days varying. At some point the strict association with time-keeping changed, and the decans acquired an icongraphy dominated by lions and serpents.These figures begin to appear on amuletic type objects, especially statuettes of lion-headed goddesses like this one. The imagery is conjectured to have something to do with the appeasement of the Dangerous Eye of Re goddess, since often - as here - the decan figures hold wine jars, recalling the goddess's drunkenness that forestalled the destruction of humankind.
