Descrizione : Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom, 13th Dynasty, ca. 1803 to 1649 BCE. A fine scarab amulet of an ovoid form, hand-carved from a pale-beige steatite. The scarab exhibits a folded wing carapace, a short head, spindly legs curled beneath its body, and a lengthwise, biconically-drilled suspension hole on the topside. The bottom presents an intricately-engraved standing image of Bes, the dwarf deity who was the protector of members of a household, particularly the women and children. Bes is defined by a rotund abdomen, delineated genitalia hanging between bent legs, hands held at his hips, and an expressive countenance surrounded by a bushy beard which is often interpreted as a lion's mane. Custom wooden display stand and putty imprint included. Size: 1.25 L x 0.9 W (3.2 cm x 2.3 cm), 3.1 H (7.9 cm) on included custom stand.
