Sarcophagus cross (4)

I believe the answer is:

ankh

(Other definitions for ankh that I've seen before include "Ancient Egyptian symbol of life - khan (anag)" , "Cross with a loop at the top, symbol of life in ancient Egypt" , "Egyptian cross" , "Hank (anag) - cross symbolising eternal life" , "Egyptian hieroglyph representing life" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
