Statue of the dwarf god Bes

Bes, often depicted with an intimidating countenance and towering feathered headdress, exuded an aura that effectively deterred evil forces. His formidable appearance made him an ideal guardian against malevolent entities, and his association with protecting women during childbirth and young children was particularly pronounced. Even into the Roman era, Bes' worship persisted, sometimes even depicting him in military attire.
