Hello, I was hoping to find some expert advice here at Egypt Search. I would like to know what the symbols on this ankh mean and/or if they have any special significance being together on this piece. It came to me mysteriously and I wonder if the meaning of the symbols will be even more interesting. I don't have any background on things Egyptian. Thank you in advance for any help or advice. The photo is located at this link on Photobucket:
In Egypt you can have name tags made using heiroglyphics for your name.
If that is not your name maybe it is just random symbols???
I am sure the experts here will correct me
here is what they usually represent
top one is L feather is i lasso is O chick is O or W zig zag is N Vulture is A E O
last 3 are woman,kephri the scarab beetle, and a pharoah

Interesting! No, not named Leona, not even a woman. The story is that I owned a gym and as my clients would come in, they would put their car keys into a little basket on the counter so they wouldn't have to carry them while working out (this was a LONG time ago). After many successful, happy years, I was taken advantage of by the greedy building owner who wanted the space for a larger client, and raised my rent until I went under (first time business experience, I didn't know how to protect myself). I had to close my doors after 7+ years and it was heartbreaking. On the last day when my final client had taken their keys, said goodbye and left, I found this ankh on a chain in the basket. I don't know who left it, but I have always kept it as a memoir of my business and the good people I met.
