Seller's Description
Life Cross The Symbol of Life
Tomb Burial Cross
** Note - Pewter can have variation in patina
The ankh is an oval or point-down teardrop set atop a T shape.
The origin of this image is highly debated.
Some have suggested that it represents a sandal strap,
although the reasoning behind such a use is not obvious.
Others point out the similarity with another shape
known as a knot of Isis (or a tyet), the meaning of which is also obscure.
The most commonly repeated explanation is that it is a union of a female symbol
(the oval, representing the vagina or uterus) with a male symbol
(the phallic upright line), but there's no actual evidence supporting that interpretation
The ankh is generally displayed in association with the gods. Most are found in
funerary images. However, most surviving artwork in Egypt is found in tombs, so
availability of evidence is skewed. The gods involved in the judgment of the dead
may possess ankh. They may carry it in their hand or hold it
up to the nose of the diseased, breathing in eternal life.
These earrings are 20mm x 14mm available from
us and are 3d ,the design is on both sides.
