Description: | Bronze figure of the god Ptah, mummiform; arms moulded almost in the round; a broad collar at the neck, counterpoise behind, hanging down the back of the big cowl. The right hand above the left, holding a staff with a composite head comprising was-sceptre, on top of it the djed-pillar, and, above, an ankh-sign, which lies under the small tubular beard. Close fitting cap on the head. Quite good condition, though some "blurring" of the features.
