Catalogue Description: One pottery vessel bearing the features of the god Bes. Smaller than 37.328E, this vessel is more crudely fashioned. The features are again applied by means of slip technique. The moustache and line about the neck of the vessel are incised. There is a curious depression into which the nose is placed, most likely it is intentional. The whole is buff slipped. Condition: A portion of the neck and rim have been lost (on the left hand side), the left ear is missing. Superficially very dirty, but otherwise in good condition.
