Bronze sculpture of a smiling, elderly woman selling sunflower seeds. Next to her, on the ground, are two bags of seeds, a rat, and a sleeping cat. One of the bags has a hole for coins, labeled "Good luck".
The sculpture depicts Liudmyla Banchenko, a real market seller of the area.
The sculpture is by the Ukrainian-Azerbaijani artist Seyfaddin Burbanov. It is (was?) located near the main entrance to the Central Market, Kharkiv, Ukraine.

Ces 30 dernières années, la recherche archéologique en France a mis au jour des pans entiers de l’histoire matérielle des sociétés de l’âge du Bronze, et comblé ainsi de nombreuses lacunes. Cette conférence invitera à découvrir non seulement ces nouveautés, mais aussi le renouvellement des méthodes et interprétations appliquées à ces sociétés de la Protohistoire.

Happy #BlackCatDay! This is a bronze statue of the cat-goddess Bastet, made 715-343 BC in Egypt.⁠


Whilst there are many Cat Goddesses and lion gods, Bastet is the only one represented as a domestic cat. In ancient Egypt, Bastet was the goddess of the home, domesticity, cats, fertility and childbirth. She was known to protect the home from evil spirits and diseases, especially those affecting women and children. Bastet was also the daughter of the sun god Re (the all-seeing eye).⁠ https://www.ashmolean.org/
