Ankh Buttons
Ankh Buttons
In Egypt, Ankh meant "life" and "hand mirror," derived from the Mirror of Hathor. Pharaohs and Egyptian deities were shown carrying the ankh as a symbol of the promise of eternal life. It also represented the union of Isis and Osiris, which mystically caused the Nile's annual floods.
Since 1972 Quick Silver Mint has been creating authentic handmade medallions, available through their catalog and at festivals throughout the United States. Now the designs are available here as buttons.
An understanding of the symbols may inspire you and enhance your journey of self-discovery. Each has its origin in ancient stone carvings, pottery, or other artifacts and many were inspired by myth and legend.
We have spent over 30 years researching and creating magical jewelry based on symbols from around the world. We are very proud to mint over 100 designs.
