The Ankh represents eternal life. It sometimes symbolised, by extension, the infinite life force and was then integrated as such in architecture, in the form of propitiatory motifs adorning the walls of temples, or in other contexts. The Ankh sign was often held by the gods and was often associated with the sceptre Uas and the pillar Jed, thus associating Life with Prosperity and Stability. In Amarna representations, it was represented at the end of the rays of the solar disc Aten, alternating with small hands. Shaped like a mirror or a knot, the Ankh is a symbol of life. It was often carried by deities or by people in funeral processions, or offered to the king as the breath of life.
