The ankh (life), djed (stability), and was (dominion) symbols depicted here on the sign for a heb bowl constitute a powerful combination of wishes that, before the first millennium, were offered by the king to a god or by a god to a king. Large complex inscribed examples of overlaid faience ankh, djed, and was elements from the time of the 25th and early 26th dynasty indicate the symbol is being associated with the Egyptian New Year, and one bears the name off Mentuemhat, the greatest official in the land.

Uses
The Ankh symbol is a very common one in ancient Egypt. It was used to represent life and the flow of time. The Ankh was used in a few different ways.

Therefore, it was often depicted in front of paintings or on stelae, signifying that the person depicted was going to live forever.

Another common icon of the Ankh was in drawings and artwork that depicted a woman holding an Ankh up to a man’s chest. This icon meant that the man was supposed to marry the woman, as the Ankh meant “life.”

Forms
There are many different forms of the Ankh cross.

One of the most common is the "Ankh Cross with a handle". This version features a cross with a handle on each end, which allows you to wear it as a necklace or carry it in your hand. The Ankh cross with a handle is closely related to the ancient Egyptian symbol known as an ankh.
The ankh is often depicted as a key that has two handles, and it represents life and balance.
However, you can also find an Ankh with a cross-like shape that stands for eternal life and eternal death (the duality of good vs evil).

The Ankh cross without the handle is also used as a decorative jewelry piece. It can be worn on pendants or other jewelry items, and it is typically made from sterling silver or 14k gold-plated sterling silver. Many people believe that wearing the Ankh cross with a handle will help them to stay balanced in their lives.

WAS-SCEPTRE
Egyptian Was-sceptre symbol, also known as Was-sceptre, is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic writing sign that is used in the language of Ancient Egypt. Was-sceptre is a logogram and a phonetic alphabet.

Pronunciation
It was used to represent the sound "u" when it occurs at the beginning of a word and to represent the word "was", which means "to be." The Was-sceptre symbol is also called a waw, wāt, or wawy. This hieroglyphic inscriptions have been found on many valuable artifacts such as jewelry and amulets.

Appearance
The was-sceptre usually occurs in pairs: one sceptre with the head of Osiris, and the other sceptre with the head of Isis. The short version is most often shown as a staff (a stick), whereas the long version is usually depicted as a double-headed scepter. The was-sceptre symbol can also be used to represent any object that has two opposite ends: for example, an hourglass or scales.

Originin
The was-sceptre motif originated in ancient Egypt during the First Dynasty. The earliest versions are small wooden sticks or staves carved with human heads positioned at either end, which may have been used as fishing rods and measuring devices. Figurines of this type of sceptre emerged during the Middle Kingdom (2040–1650 BCE) and continued to be used throughout Pharaonic Egypt’s history until Roman times.

Symbol
The Egyptian was-sceptre is an ancient Egyptian symbol depicting a sceptre with a head at the top. It is often depicted as a symbol of authority, power or kingship, or as an iconography to represent justice.

As a sign of royalty, it was given to Pharaohs or members of the royal family from birth until death. The sceptre was also used to convey authority because it represented rays of sun being reflected from the king's crown. In ancient Egypt, the sceptre stood for justice, rule and authority. The sceptre was most commonly made out of ebony or ivory with gold or silver embellishments. The design varied depending on time period and location but always had three main parts; a shaft, a headpiece and an orb at the tip.

The Was-sceptre was also associated with the god Thoth, as well as being an image of Osiris himself.

Conclusion
The ancient Egyptians used many different symbols to represent concepts and ideas. The majority of these symbols have been lost to time, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try to figure them out! The Djed symbol was used to represent stability and solidity. The Ankh was used to represent eternal life. The Ankh was also used to represent love and fertility. The was-sceptre was used to represent stability and power.

Next time you come across an Egyptian symbol, try to think about what the symbol represents and what it would have looked like on ancient monuments. You just might be able to piece together the meaning behind an Egyptian symbol!

The djed-pillar can perhaps be understood as the backbone of Osiris, or that of the deceased associated with him. The Egyptians recognized the importance of the spine and saw it as a symbol that kept Osiris, the resurrected god, intact and able to function. Spell 151e of the Book of the Dead refers to the djed-pillar amulet as “the magical protection of Osiris,” and spell 155 was recited over this amulet as it was placed on the throat of a mummy. As a hieroglyph, the djed-pillar denotes the more abstract concepts of stability, endurance, and rejuvenation.
