Description:
|
A cippus is a type of small Roman, Etruscan, or Greek stele or stone pillar, usually inscribed, marking, for example, events, boundaries, or gravesites. This one is Early Ptolemaic (the Greek ruling dynasty in Egypt). Bes is an Ancient Egyptian deity worshipped as a protector of households, and in particular, of mothers, children and childbirth. This cippus, showing Bes armed with a sword, would have been put up outside a house to guard against evil. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
