The Egyptian Ankh, Key of Life

The Ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol of eternal life gift and immortality, given from the God to the Pharaoh and his family. It features a cross shape with a loop at the top. Often associated with gods and goddesses, it is frequently depicted in their hands, symbolizing their ability to grant and protect life. Known as the “key of life” the ankh for pharaohs represented the promise of eternal life and their role as intermediaries between the divine and the people, ensuring the continuity of both physical and spiritual existence.

This design is inspired by the designs of young entrepreneur Tamim Rezk, who created this Ankh (Key of Life) motif for PAF dolls.
