EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bronze statuette of the god Ptah, dating back to the Third Intermediate Period in ancient Egypt (c. 1069-664 BC). Standing at a height of 10.4 cm, this exquisite piece is currently held in a private collection. Ptah, known as the chief deity of Memphis, is depicted here with distinct features that symbolize his divine status. The statuette portrays him with a shaven head and wearing an iconic false beard, which was commonly associated with gods during this period. His mummified male figure represents his connection to death and resurrection. The presence of the djed pillar further emphasizes Ptah's significance as it represents stability and endurance. This sacred symbol often appeared alongside deities in Egyptian art. Capturing every intricate detail of this ancient artifact, photographer eHeini Schneebeli has beautifully preserved its historical value for all to admire. With its out-of-copyright status, this image serves as an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike who seek to explore the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can delve into the world of Egyptian mythology and gain insight into how these deities were revered by their worshippers thousands of years ago.
