Bes carrying a ram over his shoulders, Late Period–Ptolemaic Period, 664–30 B.C., From Egypt, Cupreous metal, H. 6.3 cm (2 1/2 in.); W. 3.5 cm (1 3/8 in.); D. 1.3 cm (1/2 in.), This figure has notable elements of the iconography of Bes - feathers atop the massive head, a pelt knotted around his neck, and a squat powerful body. On the other hand, Bes's usual lined face and thrusting tongue are omitted so the figure looks somewhat unfamiliar
