The ankh, also called the ansata cross or key of life, is an ancient and sacred Egyptian symbol that symbolizes life. In ancient Egyptian depictions, the gods often have an ankh in their hand, on their elbow or on their chest. This symbol is also a hieroglyph which means "life" but which also takes on other mystical and religious meanings depending on the context in which it is inserted. In this image, this Egyptian symbol is placed in a composition with a decorated shield and two sickles. This illustration can, therefore, indicate the concept of defense of life, but it can take on other meanings and can be used as a logo, decoration or tattoo.
