What was the statue of the ancient Egyptian god Bastet in her Bubastis temple made of?
Alabaster is the likeliest answer. It is easy to work and yields an attractive result. It is a soft stone, though, and as such is best-suited to smaller effigies. Bastet was associated with Ra, and was a solar deity. Red sandstone is thought to have symbolic ties to solar deities, and is a harder stone more appropriate to large pieces, so it's possible that Bastet was formed of that. It is also possible that she was a composite of many types of stone.
