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.
