Ankh: The Egyptian key of life and truth; an inverted tear topping a cross-like symbol. Occasionally also interpreted as a phallic symbol, and/or as the union of Isis and Osiris. Mirrors were often shaped in the form of an Ankh, and since death was considered the mirror of life, the glyph also symbolized the underworld.
