FREE: Goth Ankh With Celtic Knot.......

The listing, Goth Ankh With Celtic Knot....... has ended.

This is more on the darker side!! The ankh is 2 1/2 I inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. Not sure on what type of metal, steel it is, but it's heavy duty! Also there are two Celtic knots on each side of the pendant... The black on each side is volcano rock... The necklace is 19/ 20 inches long.

The ankh appears frequently in Egyptian tomb paintings and other art, often at the fingertips of a God or Goddess in images that represent the deities of the afterlife conferring the gift of life on the dead person's mummy; this is thought to symbolize the act of conception. Additionally, an ankh was often carried by Egyptians as an Amulet, either alone, or in connection with two other hieroglyphs that mean "strength" and "health." Mirrors of beaten metal were also often made in the shape of an ankh, either for decorative reasons or to symbolize a perceived view into another world. The ankh was almost never drawn in silver; as a sun-symbol, the Egyptians almost invariably crafted important examples of it (for tombs or other purposes) from the metal they most associated with the sun, gold. A similar metal such as copper, burnished to a high sheen, was also sometimes used. [1]
