The Ankh is one of the oldest and most powerful symbols in human history.
In ancient Egypt, it represented life, vital energy, and the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. A simple form, carrying a deep meaning rooted in continuity, rebirth, and balance.
This gothic interpretation enhances its darker, more material character, transforming a millennia-old symbol into a contemporary piece with a strong visual presence.
The pendant is handcrafted from wenge tonewood, a dense, dark wood known for its fine, contrasting grain. Each piece follows the natural direction of the wood, allowing unique details and variations to emerge.
Finished with natural plant-based oil, the surface is protected without altering the material’s authentic look and feel, keeping the wood alive and tactile.
The pendant comes with an adjustable paracord and features a distinctive Dogstar detail: instead of a traditional metal loop, it is fitted with a bass string ball-end, a subtle reference to the world of luthiery and music, reinterpreted in a minimal way.
Every Ankh is different. The grain of the wenge, the hand-finishing, and the natural materials make each piece truly one of a kind.
It is delivered in the new Dogstar Wood Lab packaging, made from FSC-certified cardboard sourced from responsible supply chains.
An ancient symbol, carved in wood, where history, material, and meaning come together.
