Bes-image rattle, 3rd Intermediate Period (1070 to 664 BC)
"This Bes-image represents the beneficent Egyptian domestic god with his typical leonine face, dwarf body, and tail. Holes at the top of his feather crown and in his ears held rattling elements. The god extends a dom nut to a baby in his arms with Bes-like features. Monkeys are seated around his legs and alongside his crown. Behind his feathers is the incised figure of a bound oryx" (Met Museum)
New video out tomorrow on the Third Intermediate Period! A period that often gets overlooked, but as always we will uncover as much as we can!
