    "description": "This small statuette shows the god Ptah wearing a royal kilt, bead collar, bracelets and armlets. He is seated on a throne formed by walking lions. The relief on the right and left sides of the thrown show a rampant lion seizing a kneeling enemy, and at the back with hanging lotus stalks. Behind Ptah, Isis is shown in relief seated on a djed-column with outspread wings protecting the god. Fragmentary text on the bottom of the base includes the name and epithets of Ptah.",
