Kidrobot Dunny: Spiritus Dea - BASTET (Candie Bolton)
Product Details
Spiritus Dea – “spirit of the goddess” in Latin – unites 12 different female artists and goddesses under one common theme: the rebirth of justice, organized into four categories – Cosmos, Life, Nature, and Death. Candie Bolton’s rendition of Bastet is ornate. Her sparkling eyes are a stylized nod to the Eye of Ra, which serves as a feminine and peaceful counterpoint to Ra, the Sun God (Bastet’s father). The reared up snake figure on her headpiece is a nod to her sister Wadjet and serves as a symbol of the protection of Egypt from the forces of chaos. The line of her mouth forms a subtly mischievous cat-like grin while the lower half of her body is covered in an ornate pattern reminiscent of ancient hieroglyphics.One of the most mysterious deities in the Spiritus Dea series, Bastet has her roots in ancient Egypt and is known as a goddess of the home, domesticity, women’s secrets, cats, fertility, and childbirth. When it came to deciding which goddess to design for the Spiritus Dea series, the choice was simple for artist Candie Bolton. “I chose Bastet,” she explains, “because I love cats, art, and mythology from ancient Egypt.”
