Ankh

The ankh is one of the most represented hieroglyph, which means life. Such amulets, surprisingly pretty rare¹, are mainly in blue faience but other materials, including gold, were also used². They were sporadically produced from the Old Kingdom to the New Kingdom¹ but were much more frequent in the Late Period^1,2
