Description: | Sandstone sculpture of the face of the dwarf-god Bes. Bes is depicted as having a broad face with large eyes, furrowed brow, rounded ears, full lips, large nose and a curly beard. The face is a fragment of a larger work; the lower part of the face is missing, the sides and back of the head have not been carved and on top of his head are traces of what would have been a plumed crown. The style of carving suggests it dates from the Late or Graeco-Roman Period. | Subjects: | statue god sculpture in the round sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bes, Dwarf-God | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=70... | Go to resource |
