Introducing the Ankh Cross Pendant - a silver pendant featuring the iconic Egyptian cross known as the Ankh.
The Ankh is one of the most recognizable symbols from ancient Egypt, often referred to as "the key of life" or the "cross of life." Its origins can be traced back to the Early Dynastic Period of ancient Egypt, dating from around 3150 to 2613 BCE. The Ankh is characterized by its cross shape with a loop at the top, which can sometimes be adorned with symbols or decorative flourishes, but most commonly appears as a plain cross.
The Ankh holds profound symbolism in Egyptian culture. It is an Egyptian hieroglyph representing "life" or the "breath of life" (`nh = ankh). The ancient Egyptians believed in the continuity of life beyond the earthly realm, and the Ankh symbolizes both mortal existence and the afterlife. It serves as a powerful reminder of the eternal journey and the interconnectedness of life and death.
Throughout ancient Egyptian history, the Ankh was frequently depicted in tomb paintings and inscriptions, carried by numerous Egyptian gods and goddesses. It was also worn by the Egyptians as an amulet, believed to provide protection and guidance on their journey through life and into the afterlife. The Ankh, often seen alongside the djed and was symbols, formed a significant part of the visual iconography of ancient Egypt.
