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. Size: 2.5 H (6.4 cm), 2.75 H (7 cm) on included custom stand.
