Item Details

Description

Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A charming, mold-formed faience amulet depicting the Egyptian dwarf god, Bes, in the round. Enveloped in seafoam green glaze, the petite deity squats on a rectangular plinth with openwork arms to his sides. His rotund belly hits the ground, as his bearded face gazes forward, capped by a large headdress. Petite applique dots of a rich blue glaze adorn his arms and verso. A horizontal drill hole perforates through his headdress, allowing the piece to be suspended as a pendant. Bes was a protector of the household and warded off all malevolent things, making him a popular talisman for many Egyptians to carry. Size: 0.7" W x 1.7" H (1.8 cm x 4.3 cm); 2.2" H (5.6 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA collection; ex-Minerva Gallery; ex-Benjamin Vega, California, USA, acquired in 2006 to 2007; ex-Gene and Virginia George, brought to the USA from 1961 to 1966
