Guardian Worrywart is modern reinterpretation of Bes, the ancient Egyptian household protector god. The figure has a compact, rounded form with features that reflect the playful, slightly mischievous character of Bes. A shining gold headdress crowns the figure, instantly drawing the eye and echoing the ornate headgear often associated with Bes in traditional iconography. The same gold accent is used for the protruding tongue, emphasizing Bes’s iconic expression, meant to ward off evil and bring protection. He is protective yet playful.
