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。这件衣服的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。他的胸部有一个浅刻的椭圆形区域，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。托塔是一位仁慈而平易近人的神，这些特征可能激励了他的信徒在晚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. The 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 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 a benevolent and approachable god, characteristics that may have inspired his devotees to dedicate numerous representations of him in the Late and Ptolemaic Periods.
