This line drawing depicts the Ankh, an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph combining a looped top (symbolizing the sun or eternal soul) with a cross-like base (representing earthly existence). Widely used in religious art, amulets, and temple inscriptions, it signified life, protection, and the breath of the gods. Later adopted by Coptic Christians as a precursor to the Christian cross, it remains a powerful spiritual emblem across cultures.
