Ankh Necklace

This beautiful necklace features a wonderful shiny ankh pendant hanging on chain. 
 
The ankh is a popular symbol in Egyptian mythology; also known as key of life, the key of the Nile or crux ansata (Latin meaning "cross with a handle"). It was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read "life".

It represents the concept of eternal life, which is the general meaning of the symbol. The Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest.
