Sickle stones. Mounted on bone or wood, these were used to harvest grain.

The goddess Bastet, part cat and part woman was the daughter of Re, the sun-god. She represented the power of the sun to ripen crops. Cats were sacred to Bastet and many bronze cats were dedicated to her at her temple on the Nile delta. The chief seat of her worship was at Bustatie, the modern Tell Basta
