介绍（中）	伟大的埃及神Ptah是一位神，他的许多方面包括创造者神和倾听个人祈祷的神。Ptah的名字通常伴随着Nefer Her，或"脸的仁慈"的绰号，这一描述适合这个特定图像的宁静和开放特征小雕像因其美丽和大小、保存状态、精心制作的规定以及可证明的第三中间时期而引人注目。顾名思义，第三中间时期本质上是埃及中世纪的一种：政治权力断裂，但寺庙成为艺术和发明的磁石，表现在神和寺庙工作人员的金属图像中。它们体积庞大，用各种各样的创造性手段精心制作像这样的雕像会被安置在一个木制的神龛里；当神社的门打开时，雕像可能是祭品和熏香的接受者，或者是仪式圣歌和音乐的焦点。当它的使用期结束时，这尊仍然神圣的小雕像将被存放在寺庙墙壁内的一个储藏室里。
介绍（英）	The great Egyptian god Ptah was a deity whose many aspects include those of both a creator god and a god who listens to individuals’ prayers. Ptah’s name was commonly accompanied by the epithet Nefer-Her, or “Benevolent of Face,” a description suited to the serene and open features of this particular image. The statuette is remarkable for its beauty and size, state of preservation, elaborate manufacture provisions, and its demonstrable date to the Third Intermediate Period. The Third Intermediate Period was, as its name suggests, essentially a sort of Egyptian Middle Ages: political power was fractured, but temples became magnets for art and invention expressed in the metal images of gods and temple functionaries. They were large and finely executed by diverse and inventive means. A statue like this would have been housed in a wooden shrine; when the shrine doors were open, the statue might have been the recipient of offerings and incense or the focus of ritual chants and music. When its period of use was over, the still sacred statuette would be deposited in a cache within the temple walls.
