AN EGYPTIAN YELLOW LIMESTONE BES
LATE PERIOD, CIRCA 600 B.C.
The bandy-legged leonine deity with the characteristic large head and ample stomach, his hair a mass of delicately incised comma-shaped locks, his hairy ears projecting to the sides, the radiating mane with each whisker terminating in a tight curl, his mouth open, the tongue originally inlaid, grooved wrinkles along the bridge of his wide nose, the eyes recessed for now-missing inlays, with tapering arched horn-like brows, his head surmounted by a square modius, wearing a cheetah skin, the forepaws incised along his chest, the hind legs along the sides of his thighs, the tail between his buttocks, the diminutive feline head worn as a pendant at his chest, a belt tied below his paunchy belly
3 3/16 in. (8.1 cm.) high
