The ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol that was most commonly used in writing to represent the word for "life" and, by extension is a symbol for life. This ankh necklace is made of solid stainless steel and has a high polish finish. The ankh (without bail) approximately measures 48mm long x 28mm wide x 1.3mm thick. The bail can accommodate a chain or cord up to 3mm wide. This ancient Egyptian style pendant will arrive ready to wear on a 24-inch stainless steel rolo chain necklace.
