A tau cross with a loop on the top (4)

I believe the answer is:

ankh

(Other definitions for ankh that I've seen before include "Egyptian cross" , "Ansate cross" , "Hank (anag) - cross symbolising eternal life" , "Sign of life" , "Ancient Egyptian symbol of life - khan (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
