Beautiful amulet presenting the God Bès "Janus"
His headdress is composed of 5 feathers.
This God was very popular in Ancient Egypt despite his grotesque and grimacing look.
He was the guarantor of good humour and a very powerful protector.
This amulet is supposed to ward off evil spirits, demons and dangerous animals.
Former French collection.
White earthenware
Domensions: 3.1 cm high x 4.1 cm with black plexiglass base
