Ptah
New Kingdom
Limestone
Black ink
Figure of a standing god Ptah facing right. He is placed
within a shrine. The sloping pedestal on which the god
stands may represent the mound of creation or the
craftsman’s level and the hieroglyphic symbol for truth
(maat). He is depicted as a mummiform figure with his
feet together and with his hands protruding from his
tightly wrapped shroud which is his conventionalized
characteristic. He holds the `nh-sign in his right hand,
and w3s-sceptre and dd-pillar in his left hand. He
wears a close fitting skull cap. His beard is straight
rather than the usual curved divine beard found on
other Egyptian gods. He wears a large tassel at the
rear of his garment.
The god Ptah’s original cult association seems to have
been with craftsmen. He was revered at Deir
el-Medina.
