Ancient Egyptian, finely detailed faience Bes amulet, pierced for suspension. The dwarf leonine Bes is standing on a raised plinth, leaning against a pillar and wearing a feathered headdress. The figure is rendered in pale blue-green glazed faience, with incised details emphasising the face, torso, and headdress.
-> Besの護符は、家庭の保護、分娩の安全、悪霊の退避に関連して広く用いられてきました。その形は、神格の典型的な護符的性格を反映しており、グロテスクで誇張された特徴が邪悪な力を反発させると信じられてきました。
高さ: ±31,3 mm
幅: ±12 mm
状態: 良好でしっかりした状態。表面には経年に伴う摩耗と釉の欠損が見られます。
Certificate of Authenticity: available upon request (pdf-format).
-> Bes (also spelled as Bisu), together with his feminine counterpart Beset, is an ancient Egyptian deity, worshipped as a protector of households and, in particular, of mothers, children, and childbirth. Bes later came to be regarded as the defender of everything good and the enemy of all that is bad.
Bes(別名 Bisu)と、その女性形のBesetは、古代エジプトの神で、家庭、特に母親・子ども・出産の保護神として崇拝されました。後にBesは、善なるすべての守護者、悪しきものすべての敵として見なされるようになりました。
-> The Egyptians believed that he stood guard during childbirth, ready to strike any malevolent forces that sought to harm both mother and child.
エジプト人は、出産の際に彼が見守り、母と子の双方を傷つけようとする悪意ある力を撃退する準備ができていると信じていました。
-> Worship of Bes was widely recognised and was later adopted into the Roman and Achaemenid Empires.
Besの崇拝は広く認識され、後にローマ帝国とアケメネス朝帝国にも採用されました。
