Egyptian religion was pre-occupied with the afterlife- pyramids, Mummies, tombs, Valley of the Queens etc- it is certainly useful here. It was/is a feminine symbol. On a mortuary vessel ( coffin) ideally the Ankh should be displayed over the lower portion of the casket- and on an axis perpendicular to the Vagina! that"s the idea. When I Walk Below... thus saith well... Nefertiti II.
