Consulter la cote et le prix de Egyptian Glazed Faience Double Sided Bes Pendant, 1970

Description : Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A mold-formed faience pendant depicting a squat effigy of Bes - the dwarf god associated with protecting women and children - on both sides. Each instance of Bes portrays him standing atop attenuated legs, holding both arms to his drooping belly, and peering forward with recessed eyes hidden beneath the folds of his brow. Resting atop his head is his signature feathered headdress. A suspension hole is biconically drilled through the base of the headdress and enables this artifact to be worn as a pendant. Covered in turquoise-hued glaze, this is a wonderful and expressive example of ancient Egyptian artistry!
