Gail-Anderson Cat is a bronze statue depicting the image of the goddess Buster. The goddess is usually portrayed as a female figure of the head of the cat, or directly in the form of a cat. The main center of worship of the goddess Bast is located in Bubatis, in the Nile Delta. As a maternal goddess, Buster is gentle and kind, in contrast to the more aggressive lioness god, Sehmet. The statue dates back to the late dynasty of ancient Egypt, around 600 BC. Major Robert Grenville Gail-Anderson donated the statue to the British Museum in 1939 and named it in his honor.
Mummy Osiris in a Silver Mask
"Maize mummy Osiris with silver mask" is a unique sacrificial object in ancient Egypt. These mummies are usually made using corn cobs or corn kernels, symbolizing harvest and rebirth. During the production process, the ancient Egyptians decorated the corn cobs in a mummy-like shape, wrapped them in linen, and then put a silver mask on the head to represent Osiris (Osiris), the god of the underworld in Egyptian mythology. Osiris played an important role in ancient Egyptian religion, where he was considered the patron saint of the dead and a symbol of resurrection. By making such corn mummies, the ancient Egyptians hoped to pray for a good harvest and the continuation of life.
