介绍（中）	这尊小雕像描绘了埃及首都孟菲斯的首席神、众神的工匠大师Ptah。他戴着紧身的帽子，蓄着直胡子（不同于其他神身上通常弯曲的神胡子），穿着裹着的衣服，很容易辨认出来。镶嵌的金子衬托出他的容貌和装饰。眼睛周围的空间和化妆线，而不是眼睛本身（这更常见），都镶有黄金，他的眉毛和有光泽的宽领也是如此。胡子上的三条深深的切割带很可能也被镶嵌了。他的衣服沿着颈背有一个坚硬的上边缘，这一特征在奥西里斯雕像上也有一定的规律，但其含义尚不清楚。一个大的三带悬挂环坐落在这个山脊下面他胸前浅刻的椭圆形区域使他的手和权杖更加清晰，可能是为了代表斗篷本身的缝隙。通常，Ptah持有一把权杖，它结合了生命（ankh）、统治（was）和稳定（djed）的象征，但在这里他只持有was权杖。托塔是仁慈和平易近人的，这些特点可能激励了他的信徒在后期和托勒密时期为他奉献了无数的代表。
介绍（英）	This statuette depicts Ptah, the chief god of Egypt's capital city Memphis and master craftsman of the gods. He is easy to identify by his tight-fitting cap, straight beard (different from the usual curved divine beard on other gods), and enveloping garment. Inlaid gold draws out his features and adornments. The space around the eyes as well as the cosmetic line, rather than the eyes themselves (which is more common), are inlaid with gold, as are his eyebrows and lustrous broad collar. Three deep incised bands on the beard likely would have been inlaid as well. His garment has a stiff upper edge along the back of the neck, a feature that occurs with some regularity also on Osiris statuettes, but its meaning is unclear. A large triple strap suspension loop sits below this ridge. A shallowly carved oval area on his chest brings his hands and scepter into sharper relief, and may be intended to represent slits in the cloak itself. Commonly Ptah holds a scepter that combines the symbols for life (ankh), dominion (was), and stability (djed), but here he holds only the was scepter. Ptah was benevolent and approachable, characteristics that may have inspired his devotees to dedicate numerous representations of him in the Late and Ptolemaic Periods.
