Small figure or symbol hung
from a chain or strap from the neck,
ostensibly to ward of evil or to bring luck or
other positive reaction (love, prosperity,
etc.). Three such charms were placed in the
wrappings of mummies to protect the
deceased or to endow him/her with magical
powers.
ANKH
A symbol whose hieroglyphic sign
means life or a symbol of divinity. Gods are
frequently shown wearing or carrying the
sacred symbol. Common people would
wear the ankh as an amulet.
HIEROGLYPHS

by ancient Egyptians. It is unique that the
symbols mean and sound the same.
