An Ankh is a central image in Ultima lore and typically represents the Virtues collectively. Ankhs can be found in and on many items, buildings and locations, but are especially significant at Shrines.
At Shrines, such as shown in the picture below from Luna, you may Lock/Unlock Your Karma, Tithe Gold, or be Resurrected by using the contextual menu on the Ankh.
Originally, Ankhs were the ancient Egyptian symbol of life, but were adapted early into the lore of Ultima beginning with the solo-player Ultima games in the early 1980's.
