Filagree Ankh Silver Earrings

These beautiful Ankh earrings are sterling silver plated and 2.5cm long with sterling silver earring hooks. The Ankh is an ancient and powerful symbol for eternal life and immortality and is one of the most familiar of Egyptian hieroglyphs. In Ancient Egyptian art, it is carried in the hands of many Egyptian deities and was often shown being offered to the king's lips as a symbol of the "breath of life." The Ankh was sacred to the Mother Goddess and also signified sexual union and conception. The female sign is derived from the ankh.
