Bes pin

I may seem small and a bit strange to many, but I will protect your home from all evil, especially from naughty snakes. No wonder I'm one of the most popular gods of ancient Egypt and everyone's friend.

The pin produced for Amos Rex's Egypt of Glory exhibition is adorned with the endearing and fierce Bes, the patron god of children and pregnant women.
