AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

➜ This statue represents Ptah, one of the most important creator gods of Ancient Egypt and the patron deity of craftsmen and artisans. Ptah is shown in his classic mummiform pose, standing upright and holding his divine staff that combines the was-sceptre, djed pillar, and ankh—symbols of power, stability, and eternal life.

He wears the characteristic tight skullcap associated with Ptah, and stands supported by a traditional back-pillar, echoing the style of temple and tomb sculptures. The stone surface displays a beautiful aged patina, with areas of natural wear that add depth and character to the piece.

A striking and faithful replica inspired by ancient representations from Memphis, reflecting the quiet dignity and sacred authority of the god Ptah.


➜ Why You’ll Love It:

• Hand crafted from stone with a beautiful aged patina

• Iconic lotus flower held in front of the body

• Traditional skullcap and back-pillar for good looking proportions

• A powerful and elegant addition to any Ancient Egypt collection
