This Ankh necklace represents the famous Egyptian Ankh cross of life found engraved on the tombs of the pharaohs.
It is initially a hieroglyph whose meaning is: ânkh or Crux Ansata meaning: "life". To learn more about this Egyptian symbol now known worldwide, I invite you to read this article on the subject.
This Ankh silver pendant is a reproduction of an ancient Ankh symbol found by archeologists in Egypt, engraved in stone on a wall of a tomb. You can see in the picture the original symbol which was used as our model. This ankh design is the first known representation of Ankhs that appeared during the first dynasty, some 3000 years BC. It represents a knot made of a flexible material such as cloth or reeds.
Our Ankh cross pendant design is made of solid silver, with curved shapes on the top and flat on the back. You will see that it reproduce in detail the ancient cross of life seen on the wall of the tomb. The curved surfaces of the ankh cross pendant reflect the light giving it a very shiny appearance.
This necklace is available with a chain or without a chain as a simple pendant if you prefer. In case you choose the chain, this is a 1,2 mm sterling silver curb chain 45 centimeters long (18 inches).
