the god ptah

The god Ptah appeared in Tutankhamun’s tomb through statues and icons, most notably a gilded wooden statue of the god Ptah himself. His presence symbolizes his role as the god of the creator, artists, and craftsmen, especially in the field of stone. His image also appeared on tools and artifacts such as a silver military horn bearing images of several gods, linking King Ptah to the “afterlife” and the protection of the tomb.
