DESCRIPTION OF ITEM: Pendant or Charm

While crosses are predominantly associated with Christianity, they hold significance across various cultures and beliefs, predating the emergence of Christianity itself. An exemplary instance is the ancient Egyptian ankh cross, among the oldest and most distinctive cross designs. The ankh cross features a T-shaped base that extends into an oval loop at the top, with many variations being thicker to accommodate additional designs and gemstones. The eternal symbolism of the ankh cross lies in its looped top, signifying endlessness. Functioning as a symbol of life, the ankh cross, translating to the "key" or "cross of life," held profound importance in ancient Egyptian culture. Placed on the lips of deceased Pharaohs, it symbolized the continuation of life beyond death, reflecting the belief in immortality rather than the cessation of existence. Over time, interpretations of the Ankh cross have expanded to encompass various meanings, including transformation, reverence for the departed, fertility, and even notions of gender fluidity.

This beautiful charm is perfect for a necklace, keychain, bracelet, or any other creation you may have in mind. You will be receiving (5) pieces per order.
