The Global Egyptian Museum

Bes, the dwarf god of joy and happiness, is a household deity. This statuette depicts him in his usual manner with grotesque, mask-like facial features. He has the ears and mane of a lion and his legs are bowed. 

A beard is engraved on his chin. Seven small feathers are etched above his head. His hands are resting on his knees; the eyes, bracelets, and feathers are painted red.

كان المعبود بس رب المرح والسعادة من الأرباب التى تعبد فى المنازل. وهذا التمثال يظهره فى شكله المعهود بملامحه الغريبة التى تشبه القناع، حيث أن له أذن ولبدة أسد، فى حين أن ساقيه مقوستان. 

كما أن له ذقن ويضع سبع ريشات فوق رأسه. ويضع بس يديه فوق ركبتيه. وقد لونت عيناه وقلادته والسبع ريشات باللون الأحمر.
