Above all, though, Bess grotesque expression was a model for the grisly visage of the Devil. For instance, in the glorious Byzantine mosaic of the Last Judgement in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta on the island of Torcello in the Venetian Lagoon, a swivel-eyed blue ogre with a wild white beard presides over a fiery infernal lake in the bottom right corner. Just as other elements of the composition, such as the weighing of the souls, derive from ancient Egyptian art, so parts of this monsters gruesome DNA (including his fierce face and frontal aspect) belong to an iconographical tradition stretching back to representations of Bes. Unlike Bes, the ogre is not a dwarf but a tiny figure,Michael Kors Watch, whose identity remains uncertain, sits upon his lap (a visual memory, if you like, of Bess short stature). In addition, the ogres striking blue skin may recall the vivid ultramarine colour of commonplace Bes amulets, which were often made from glazed earthenware.
