Magical Relief
Egypt
Ptolemaic Period, 305-330 BCE
Limestone
The winged god with a lion’s face and legs on this magical relief resembles the god Bes, but the image is a composite. This multifaceted feline divinity stands over bound captives and animals-a scorpion, turtle, and perhaps a lion-that symbolize chaos because they inhabit the dangerous desert or marshes. The God’s power over chaos suggests his protective function. Originally, water flowed through the opening at the bottom of the stela, providing security and curing ailments.

I was ranting last night about using a point and shoot. This is a real picture that was taken with a point and shoot several years ago with no camera tricks or otherwise. I was there trying to do some stutue silhouettes and saw this reflection in the glass. What an awesome moment. I still have my little kodak but it'll kill fresh batteries after about ten pictures. This is in a cemetary on route 23 going towards Powell, OH.
The driver stopped me in a beatiful temple betwneen Denpasaar and Ubud, Probably the town was Celuk. I had to dress the Sarong to enter the temple.....was so hot :)
