Bes was a protection deity who, despite having dwarflike features, had a body that stretched from the depths of the Underworld to the vastness of the sky. He was particularly popular with pregnant women and is a god of both birth … and rebirth. Amulets and figures of Bes were used for over two millennia, with women adorning their bodies with tattoos of Bes to energize their sex life or make them more likely to give birth. Bes often appears with widened eyes, a wide nose, and with his tongue sticking out.
