Sacred and mystical, it portrayed the eternal life of the soul. The ankh is seen in many Egyptian art forms and is considered to be one of their most powerful amulets. The large ankh found in King Tut's tomb was designed as a mirror case, hinged at the top, and made of gilt wood inlaid with colorful glass paste. This detailed version features the sacred scarab beetle rising to greet the Eastern sun.
Hieroglyphics run along the top loop, as well as down the front leg.
