A bronze Bastet cat statue — the ancient Egyptian goddess of protection and fertility — displayed on a stepped wooden pedestal inside the Gayer-Anderson Museum in Old Cairo. The room features traditional mashrabiya (مشربية) lattice windows, carved wooden cabinetry, and an ornate patterned carpet, reflecting the museum's blend of pharaonic artifacts within an Islamic-era architectural interior. The Gayer-Anderson Museum, housed in two connected 17th-century houses adjacent to the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, is one of Cairo's most significant historic house museums.
