This statuette depicts the Memphite godPtah standing on a platform in the form of the hieroglyph for 'Maat'. His head is covered with a cap which follows the shape of his skull, and his chin is elongated by a false beard. The god is covered with a tight-fitting robe which envelops his slim body, the only part of him visible being his hands which hold a was-sceptre; he also wears a broad 'wesekh' collar. The large ears are perhaps not unrelated to his divine epithet 'he who listens to prayers'. On the base is a short text which emphasises the votive character of the piece.
