Ptah statuette

Standing figure of Ptah, wearing a tight-fitting dress which leaves the hands uncovered. He is wearing the skullcap, surmounted by a solar disc flanked by two ostrich feathers. The god has a false beard connected to the upper chest and decorated with small notches. The arms are bent and the fists, the right one positioned above the left and resting tightly on the torso, hold a sceptre which it’s not identifiable, perhaps it is a was-sceptre. There is a broken square tenon under the feet. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
