EGYPTIAN ANKH WITH SCARAB WALL HANGING

EGYPTIAN GOLD ANKH WALL HANGING

The Ankh symbol - sometimes referred to as the key of life or the key of the nile - is representative of eternal life in Ancient Egypt. It could also have a more physical connotation: the ankh may represent water, air, and the sun, which were meant to provide and preserve life in Ancient Egyptian culture.

The ankh is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol that was most commonly used in writing and in Egyptian art to represent the word for "life" and, by extension, as a symbol of life itself. The ankh has a cross shape but with an oval loop in place of an upper bar.

An object or design resembling a cross but having a loop instead of the top arm, used in ancient Egypt as a symbol of life.
