Fresco depicting the Egyptian god Bes, smiling and sitting on a stool, from the Sacrarium of the Temple of Isis, Pompeii.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fresco depicting the brown-skinned, naked, and fat Egyptian god Bes seated on a turned leg and shallow-backed stool or chair. His large rear fills the seat, and his legs dangle like a child’s. The most surprising thing is his sweet smile (and lack of an enormous phallus, as he's usually portrayed). He also has a curly beard, and his head is topped by a large blooming lotus blossom.

From the Sacrarium of the Temple of Isis, Pompeii. Circa 63-79 CE.

Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples (inv. 8916)
