Photo Circa 1860: The God Bes
Amusing photo, printed around 1860, of an Egyptian bas-relief, in a temple, representing the god Bes. A deformed dwarf with a monstrous face, he is in fact the protector of the home, chasing away evil spirits with his disturbing appearance. This photo is placed in a beautiful 19th century walnut frame which harmonizes perfectly with the slightly faded sepia tone of the photograph.
