The inverted ankh is in harmony with the inverted man. The ankh and the rose cross symbolises the supreme formula of adeptness and the sacrifice that has to be undertaken to complete any great work. The inverted figure forms a cross upon an equilateral triangle, representing the descent of light into darkness. The serpent on the right foot suggests both creator and destroyer. The symbol of water appears at the left centre and the symbol for Neptune at the right centre.
