Egyptian Terracotta Amulet of Bes, ex-Bonhams

Item Details

Description

Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A mold-made terracotta plaque that was most likely intended to be an amulet (there was probably a loop for suspension on the headdress). The plaque depicts the god Bes standing, with his head turned back in profile. Bes is shown in great detail, including finely rendered hands, feet, body, and phallus. He has a beard which is often interpreted as a lion's mane. Bes watched over the household, particularly the women and children of the house, protecting them with the magical sign "sa." An amulet like this one was made to be worn for protection. Custom lucite display stand included. Size: 1.5" W x 4.125" H (3.8 cm x 10.5 cm); 4.75" H (12.1 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Davis collection, Houston, Texas, USA; ex-Bonham's London Antiquities Auction, 8 May, 2013, part of lot 123; ex-Joseph Klein collection, formed in New York, New York, USA between 1941 and 1980, thence by descent
