Start great conversations with
this fabulous museum replica of a stunning original work of ancient Egyptian
art. Makes a great Egyptian gift!
Only
Kings, Queens and Gods were allowed to carry this symbol. The ankh is the Egyptian
sign of life and indicates that the King or God holding it has the power
to give life or take it away from lesser mortals. The Ankh as a symbol of the
life giving elements of air and water was often used by a God or Goddess who
holds the ankh before the King’s nose, giving him the “breath of life” or as
streams of water in the form of ankhs running over the King during ritual
purification.
The
ancient original of this reproduction was a case cover for a mirror and it was
part of the funerary treasures found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
