I have based this painting on the actual Temple of Bastet at Bubastis. It's not exactly as the description but close and the temple is painting as red granite just like the temple originally was. The Egyptian cat Goddess Bast, or bastet, daughter of Isis and Ra, protector of home and family, moon and sun goddess.

Minstrel Ayreon Says:

Very nice! I like the jewelry the real cat is wearing...I wonder, did the Egyptians really lavish such gifts on cats? I know they gave them the same burial treatment as humans, anyway...
