| A ring from the late Eighteenth Dynasty showing an Ankh symbol. These rings were produced in large quantities during the reigns of Amenhotep III and Akhenaton. However they are very fragile and most are found not only broken but missing pieces, usually the shank and frequently part of the bezel. The shank of this ring is glued but there is no restoration or painting. The Ankh symbol was often used during the reign of Akhenaton and one of his shabtis shows him holding an Ankh. The rays of the sun Aten are also shown holding an Ankh. Circa 1390-1336BC. Length of bezel 2CM, width 1CM | ||
