Late Period ca. 664–30 BCE

Egyptian faience figure of Bes, the protective household deity traditionally shown with a dwarf-like body, leonine features, and a tall feathered crown, rendered frontally with a broad face, prominent eyes, compact body, and raised arms, while its turquoise-green glaze has weathered to reveal areas of the underlying surface. Bes was associated with protection, childbirth, children, and the household, and his image was commonly used on amulets and personal objects.
