Descripción : Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A wonderful carved bovine or ungulate bone amulet depicting the dwarf god Bes. He stands with short bowed legs upon an integral pedestal. His body is small with a rounded stomach and arms bent at his sides. In Bes' hands are curved objects, perhaps papyrus fronds. Two suspension holes are drilled laterally through the sides. The flat back may have been carved with protective hieroglyphs. 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.
