The ankh, also known as crux ansata (the Latin for "cross with a handle") is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic ideograph with the meaning "life". The Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest. The ankh appears in hand or in proximity of almost every deity in the Egyptian pantheon (including Pharaohs). The ankh symbol was so prevalent that it has been found in digs as far as Mesopotamia and Persia, and even on the seal of the biblical king Hezekiah. The symbol also became popular in New Age mysticism in the 1960s.
As a versatile piece, this wrap around Ankh ring is perfect for those who appreciate history, spirituality, or unique jewelry. Wear it as a daily reminder of the enduring legacy of ancient Egypt, or gift it to someone special as a token of life, protection, and the timeless allure of the Ankh.
