Tesoro di Tutankhamon. Statua di Ptah
Its mummiform body is decorated by a feathered robe and on the chest by a collar made of rows of beads. The statuette is made of wood and is entirely gilded. The cap on the head is made of blue faience, the same colour used for the eyes, outlined in glass paste. The flat beard is made of polished bronze. In his hands he holds a uas sceptre, symbol of authority, which incorporates the ankh sign, symbol of life, and the djed sign, emblem of resistance.
