## Image Caption

Wine vessel in the shape of the [Egyptian](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Egyptian/) dwarf [god](https://www.worldhistory.org/God/) [Bes](https://www.worldhistory.org/Bes/). The vessel is relatively well-preserved. Few such vessels of Bes with blue painting were found; this vessel is one of the best-surviving examples. Painted ceramic. Probably from [Amarna](https://www.worldhistory.org/Amarna/), [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/). [New Kingdom](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/New_Kingdom/), 18th Dynasty, late 13th century BCE. (The Neues Museum, Berlin, Germany).
