Description: Ptah Sokar dwarf, double faced. The god is composed of two figures, Ptah and Sokar. Sokar was a hawk-headed god of the necropolis at Memphis and so the combined Ptah-Sokar was more closely connected to the afterlife than Ptah the Creator. This figure has two heads, emphasising the god's dual identity. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | figure figurine | Temporal: | name=Ptolemaic; start=-332; end=-30 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
