Amulet of the God Bes

AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano

Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

The image shows small Egyptian-style metal figures/amulets, including a standing bearded god with arms crossed and two other small objects (one cylindrical and one figure-on-a-mount).

In the photo, three separate amulet-like items are visible against a neutral background. On the left, there is a gold-colored, hollow-cast/formed figure of a dwarf-like, bearded deity with a broad face and distinctive headdress, hands held together or at the waist, posed standing with legs apart—consistent in general with Bes iconography. In the center, a small cylindrical object is decorated with painted bands: a darker top section and a patterned body with interlocking/diamond-like motifs in blue/green and black, with a lighter band near the base. On the right, a smaller gold-colored figure (human/animal-like) is shown mounted or attached to a base, but its exact subject is unclear from the image. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or alphabetic scripts are legible on the items in this view. The catalogued materials are electrum; the objects appear metallic gold-toned in the image, but the exact composition cannot be confirmed from the photo alone. There is no visible inscription excerpt.
