This bronze representing the god Ptah was used by a priest of Ptah in his rituals. Ptah is shown here wearing his emblematic skullcap and a straight beard above a large circular necklace, holding a was scepter. It was hung by the large suspension ring visible in back. “From the Middle Kingdom (2055-1650 BC.) onwards, Ptah was represented with a straight beard. The basic iconography of his images remained virtually unchanged throughout the Pharaonic period.” (Shaw & Nicholson 1995:230) Bibliography (for this item)Andrews, Carol1994 Amulets of Ancient Egypt.
