Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses are depicted carrying a wide variety of sceptres and symbols, including sometimes the hieroglyph 'nx which is today called ankh and is the sign for life or living. Many gods also carry the was sceptre of power and authority.

These signs are meant to be read as if part of a text - the powerful god is capable of giving eternal life to the soul of the dead person just as the god himself lives eternally.
