Small Ptah Statue | |
|
Egyptian Museum,
Cairo Dynasty XVIII,
1347-1337 B.C.
Originally a local
god of Memphis, Ptah
is generally
represented as a
standing mummiform
figure with hands
protruding from the
tight shroud to hold
a scepter that
combines the “waas”
scepter and the djed
pillar symbols. He
wears a tight-fitting
cap, and has a menat
hanging down behind
his neck. Originally
he was only a god of
craftsmanship,
therefore the
invention of the arts
were attributed to
him, but in the
Pyramid Age, he
assumed the position
as god of the
creation. He created
by means of his heart
and tongue, thus
fashioning the world
by the power of his
word. The god’s
creative power was
then manifest in
every heartbeat and
in every sound. Ptah
was regarded as “the
ancient one” who
united in his person
the entity Nun, the
masculine aspect and
Naunet, the female
aspect. Ptah was
known as
the “sculptor of the
earth” who created
all beings on a
potter’s wheel.
