This is the rating and price for Lovely Egyptian Faience Bes Amulet

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.
