Splendid Bes Amulet in Silver. Egypt, Ptolemaic - Graeco-Roman, c. 300 BC. - 100 AD. The amulet in the form of a plaque/pendant, the silver sheet worked repoussé, with chased and incised details. Bes with traditional features, but decidedly human-looking here -- sensitively modeled, even friendly and approachable. Repair to bracket supporting loop; chipping to metal around the edges, otherwise features intact and very fine. Size: 2" x 1-7/16". Very rare in this size and quality!
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
Taisei Gallery, Gold & Silver Auction, II (11-5-92), lot 3.
