An ancient household favorite, Bes has returned to the collection with company. The replica statue has never looked better with a rustic old look that is very authentic. In addition, my old amulet of Bes with his tongue poking out wearing a remnant feather headdress. In addition I've included a small wearable amulet that has a removable bronze ring for attachment to your choice of necklace material.
Bes was a deity originating from the Nubian kingdoms to the Deep South of Egypt. The cities of Meroe, Napata and Gebel Barkal knew of Bes long before the Thutmoside conquests of the 18th dynasty when he was introduced to the Egyptian populace as a potent deity associated with a good child birth.
Deemed so ugly that he would scare off the demons of potential calamitous birth. If that failed, he would ritualistically beat a Tamborine to ward of and potential evil spirits.
He was to become one of the most popular and enduring of domestic deities transcending even into the Roman period.
