The most common lucky charm to be worn in ancient Egypt was an image of the God Bes in the form of an amulet. This rather ugly, diminutive deity did not belong to the the so called higher echelons of the great gods, but was instead immensely popular amongst the people. He is thought to be African in origin, Bes is said to represent a pygmy wearing a lion mask and a plumed headdress, he is also very unusual as he is shown full faced rather than in profile as was the norm in Egyptian art.
Known for his kindliness, he progressed from his role as protector of sheep and shepherds to the god of revelry, dancing and inebriation.
Marriages were also linked to Bes, and he is also linked to aiding women in childbirth. As Bes was also the guardian of children, he became the enemy of serpents, scorpions and any creature that could harm children.
