Egyptian dwarf god Bes (large print)
Synopsis
This is an image of the god Bes known as the protector of childbirth and children. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up.He is standing facing forward so all of his face and limbs can be seen. At the top centre of the page is Bes's tall hat with lines running vertically down it. Down the page from this are his eyebrows, two eyes, nose, mouth and beard. His very large ears stick out to either side of his large head. He does not have any neck so that his arms, held outwards with two bracelets on each, appear to grow out of his head. On his chest, he wears an Ankh symbol, thought to represent eternal life and life after death. It is hanging on a necklace, which is not shown. Further down the page are Bes's naval, a loincloth and his two short legs.
