Pocket Madonna Bastet Talisman

Our Pocket Madonna Bastet Statue is a unique statue carved and casted by your local trickster spirits. The original design was hand-carved by us before being casted in genuine natural materials using the same process as most pagan statuary. The design of this talisman honors Bastet as a protective mother. Once, worshippers would appeal to her for protection from harm and plagues by calling themselves her children. This talisman is for the same purpose, depicting Bastet using imagery similar to how the Madonna is shown in statues and paintings. A halo radiates from behind her head, while her right hand is uplifted in a gestures of benediction. In her left hand she cradles one of her kittens, swaddled in cloth. She wears the jewelry shown in her oldest depictions as well. 

She is currently available in the following materials:

• Bonded atomized copper
• Bonded alabaster
• Bonded charcoal
• Polymer clay: This lightweight form of this statue is made using glittering, pearlescent polymer clay that has been painted by hand.
• Golden: This is the only statue not made of natural materials. It's made with resin and colored with golden mica. Like folk magic practitioners before us, we work with the best materials available for the task at hand: this includes resin. Despite not being a natural material, we work with resin for its alchemical property of transformation. Under its own power, resin transforms itself from a liquid to solid state through heat it produces itself. We view this as an alchemical metamorphosis and prize this material for that purpose.

Each statue is hand-painted with black, gold, and/or red to highlight her features. This statue measures 3x1.75x1 inches and can fit comfortably in a hand during meditation or a pocket while going about your day.
