Arabia occupies a characteristic geographical location that enabled it to establish relations, since ancient times, with other neighbouring civilizations in the east, west, north and south. This contribution investigate one of Arabia’s cultural aspects, which has undeniably been affected by its nearby civilizations. This aspect is particularly demonstrated in religious beliefs, which are confined to the ancient Egyptian deity Bes. Although the origin, worship place, and date of first appearance of Bes are still uncertain, it was argued, however, that he hails from Arabia.
This Paper discusses a unique figurine of the god Bes discovered by Al-Ansary during his excavations at Al-Faw site in central Arabia.
