Bastet Hat

As protector of Lower Egypt, Bastet was seen as defender of the king, and consequently of the sun god, Ra. She was associated with the Eye of Ra. She has been depicted as fighting the evil snake Apep, an enemy of Ra . Sometimes she was called "eye of the moon". Bastet was also a goddess of pregnancy and childbirth, possibly because of the fertility of the domestic cat. The goddess was sometimes depicted holding a ceremonial sistrum in one hand and an aegis in the other. She was also depicted as the goddess of protection against contagious diseases and evil spirits.
