A dwarf god, Bes was the protector of the household, women, children and childbirth, as well as sexuality, humour, music and dancing, making him a very popular deity with the people. He was seen as the protector of all things good and as the destroyer of evil, and there is evidence of people dressing as him, and of girls getting tattoos of the deity on their inner thighs.
