Hi! Yesterday I stumbled upon some beautiful engravings on an Ankh, but I cannot figure out what these couple of engravings mean. Any help is welcome!

The third picture I kind of see Leo. Scorpio is with scorpio nine scorpio but scorpio is the eight sign not the ninth sign? Does that mean theres a sign before it? Interesting.

Left of the "steaming box" is Pisces, so as the others said it's likely the Zodiac though maybe rearranged for some reason (as Libra doesn't come before Leo but if the signs are going counterclockwise then Virgo should go between them anyway)
The first picture (the upside down Venus) is a symbol of Earth (I think Blavatsky wrote it is the sign of the cross ruling over the Earth, and therefore is an attribute of kings) the crescent beneath it: could be either the attracting of higher things down to / through earth, or (the opposite) banishing of earth because the crescent is a symbol that wards off the evil influences.
Would be better to show the whole pic

It is possible that it is a personal talisman made from someone's astrological chart, it used to be a popular practice a long time ago.

That would explain the signs we see not following their "normal listed order."
