EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art, the Statuette of Bes. Created during the 27th Dynasty (525-30 BC), this solid cast bronze sculpture stands at a modest size of 8x3.5x2.2 cm, yet it exudes immense power and significance. Bes, depicted in this statuette, was a deity revered for his protective and nurturing qualities. Known as the god of households, childbirth, and entertainment, he was believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune to those who worshipped him. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian sculptors. The delicate features on Bes' face are meticulously carved with precision and finesse. His distinctive lion-like mane frames his expressive eyes that seem to radiate both strength and benevolence. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this extraordinary artifact is a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Acquired through the Norman O. Stone and Ella A. Stone Memorial Fund, it serves as a reminder of our connection to an ancient civilization that flourished thousands of years ago. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and reverence bestowed upon deities like Bes by the people of ancient Egypt. This print invites us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as an emblematic representation from one of humanity's most enduring civilizations - truly a treasure worth cher
