Egyptian Ankh (Key of Life) and Lotus silver

The Egyptian Ankh (Key of Life) and Lotus silver bracelet is a beautiful addition to your unique collection. The Ankh is also known as key of life, the key of the Nile. It was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read “eternal life”. Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest. The Ankh is a representation of both Physical and Eternal life. The Ankh is typically associated with material things such as water, air, sun, as well as with the Gods, who are frequently pictured carrying an Ankh. Egyptian gods carried the ankh by the loop, or held one in each hand crossed over their breast.

The Lotus flower was one of the most important religious Egyptian Symbols in the mythology of ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians used the Lotus as a symbol in art representing the sun, of creation, rebirth and was a symbol of Upper Egypt. As a symbol of the sun it is closely associated with Atum-Ra, the Sun god and later with Nefertum, lotus god of perfume. Lotus flowers, also called water lilies, open in the morning and close again at night symbolizing rebirth and regeneration.

You can find the Lotus Symbol, or motif, in honored places throughout Egypt. On the architecture, especially on the capitals of Egyptian pillars. Also in the tomb Hieroglyphics, papyrus, on thrones, headdresses of the divine pharaohs.

It grows in muddy swamps. The flower extends out of the water and blossoms into fifteen white or pink oval shaped spreading petals. At its center is a curious flat seedcase. It is both ornamental and sweet smelling.

Red was the color of blood with all its connotations of energy, dynamism, power, even life itself. He was patron of disorder, storms and aridity, and murderer of his brother Osiris. This curious dichotomy is reflected in the fact that khenmet, the word for red jasper, was derived from the verb ‘to delight’.
