The Ankh was, for the ancient Egyptians, the symbol (the actual Hieroglyphic sign) of life but it is an enduring icon that remains with us even today as a Christian cross. It is one of the most potent symbols represented in Egyptian art, often forming a part of decorative motifs.

The ankh seems at least to be an evolved form of, or associated with the Egyptian glyph for magical protection, sa. However, what the sign itself represents is often disputed. For example, Sir Alan Gardiner thought that it showed a sandal strap with the loop at the top forming the strap, but if so, the symbolism is obscure and so his theory has found little real favor early on. However, this interpretation seems to have received some acceptance among modern writers. It would seem that the ancient Egyptians called that part of the sandal 'nkh (exact pronunciation unknown). Because this word was composed of the same consonants as the word "life", the sign to represent that particular part of the sandal, was also used to write the word "life".

This ankh has an untranslated set of glyphs that run vertical on the front. Beautiful green faience glaze still to be seen. This ankh is in excellent condition with no major breaks or repairs. Greco-Roman period (332 B.C. - 395 A.D.). Purchased from a doctor in Egypt. A fine addition to your collection. Certificate of authenticity COA from a New York gallery is included. I accept Paypal. $3.99 to ship and insurance is required on each package. I will be glad to answer any questions through email. Thanks for looking!
