0965768 - Mirror case found in a large coffer. In the form of the sign of life, it is made of gilt wood inlaid with glass paste. Tukankhamen, by Christiane Desroches Noblecourt, page 188.
In the shape of a mirror or a knot, the ankh is a symbol of life. It was often carried by deities or people in a funeral procession, or offered to the king as the breath of life.
