Statuette of the god Ptah

Standing figure of Ptah. The god has a false beard connected to the neck and decorated with notches. On the back of the statuette, the upper part of the dress is rigid and forms a sort of collar. The god is wearing a tight-fitting dress. The arms are bent and the fists, the right one positioned above the left and resting tightly on the torso, hold the was-sceptre. A square tenon projects down from the feet. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
