Golden Bastet — A Commission of Divine Harmony

From the Egyptian Gods of Prosperity series, Golden Bastet is a fully gilded ceramic sculpture celebrating protection, balance, and radiant femininity.
Bastet, revered as the feline goddess of harmony and light, is rendered here as a work of enduring cultural and artistic significance.

The sculpture is commissioned from the master artisans of Kōbeigama, a kiln formally recognized for its cultural excellence, where ancient Egyptian symbolism is interpreted through the highest discipline of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship.

Artistic Pedigree & Material Authority

Golden Bastet is defined by restraint, precision, and symbolic clarity.

The entire figure is finished in full gold gilding, achieved through a meticulous, multi-stage process of hand-applied gold layers, kiln-fired to produce a smooth, mirror-like surface. This time-intensive technique yields a refined luminosity that responds gently to light, conveying opulence without excess.

Bastet is adorned with a blue-glazed scarab pendant, a solar emblem associated with rebirth, vitality, and spiritual continuity. The contrast between the deep blue glaze and the gold surface introduces depth while reinforcing the figure’s symbolic resonance.

Each sculpture is handcrafted at Kōbeigama, whose multi-generational expertise ensures balance in form, precision in proportion, and lasting material integrity. The result is a presence that embodies grace and guardianship rather than ornament alone.

Heirloom Presentation & Preservation

Golden Bastet is conceived as a generational work.

The sculpture is presented in a refined, custom-crafted protective box, designed for archival care, discreet presentation, and long-term preservation—whether displayed prominently or preserved as part of a private collection.

Commissioning & Availability

Due to the complexity and precision required for full-gold gilding, Golden Bastet is offered exclusively by custom order and produced in strictly limited numbers.

Each commission requires approximately three months to complete, allowing the artisans of Kōbeigama to work with deliberate focus and uncompromising standards. This unhurried process is essential to achieving the work’s rarity, material excellence, and lasting cultural value.
