Large Ankh necklace is 26in long and the Anhk piece is 3 1/2 inches tall by 2 inches wide. As the yearly floods of the Nile brought life to Kemet (Ancient Egypt), so did the holy Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) Ankh. It is known as a symbol of immortality and was worn by the Pharaohs. The Ankh is the oldest and most sacred Ancient Egyptian amulet. It represents living and everlasting life, not only in the material world but in the spiritual afterlife.
