Ancient Egyptian Faience Amulet of Bès
Late Period – Ptolemaic, ca. 600–300 BC
A turquoise-blue faience amulet depicting the protective household deity Bès, shown in his characteristic squat form with pronounced body and limbs. The rendering is abstract and simplified, yet the overall proportions and posture are clearly recognisable as this beloved god.
Bès was one of the most popular deities in ancient Egypt. Protector of the home, childbirth, music, and joy, he was invoked to guard against evil and misfortune. Amulets of Bès were worn by both adults and children, serving as powerful charms of protection and fertility.

Dimensions: approx. 3.1 cm
Weight: approx. 5.8 g
Condition: Worn with some surface weathering and small losses consistent with age. Attractive patina of antiquity.
Provenance: Private European collection, acquired in the 1990s.
A fine and expressive example of a protective amulet from the Late Period to Ptolemaic Egypt.
