Group of Ptah and Sakhmet
The group represents the deities standing on a rectangular base. Ptah is mummyform, holding a was staff and a djed symbol. On his head there is a tightly fitting cap being his traditional attribute; his artificial beard is widening downwards. The eyebrows and cosmetic lines are long, continuing at the temples. Sakhmet is shown as a lioness-headed woman with her left foot advanced. She wears a long dress and holds an ankh sign in her right hand and a... staff in the left hand; a sun-disc with an uraeus crowns her head.
