Ancient Egyptian Faience Statuette of Bes, New Kingdom, 1550-1070 BC

Item Details

Description

This vibrant faience statuette depicts Bes, the ancient Egyptian deity known for his protective qualities, particularly in households and during childbirth. From the New Kingdom period, 1550-1070 BC, the figurine stands at 9 cm in height, 4 cm in width, and 2.5 cm in depth (approximately 3.54 x 1.57 x 0.98 inches). Bes is characteristically portrayed in a squatting position with a lion-like face, here rendered in the typical blue-green hues of Egyptian faience, a material prized for its bright color and durability. This statuette would have served not only as a domestic talisman but also as an object of personal devotion, reflecting the intimate and everyday nature of the relationship between the ancient Egyptians and their gods. The quality of the craftsmanship and the good state of preservation make this a particularly desirable piece for collectors of ancient artifacts.
