ANCIENT EGYPTIAN FAIENCE EYE OF HORUS AMULET. A proper antiquity for a true collector.

One of the most popular amulets in ancient Egypt, the wedjat eye represents the healed eye of the god Horus. It depicts a combination of a human and a falcon eye, since Horus was often associated with a falcon. Its ancient Egyptian name, wedjat, means the one that is sound. In Egyptian mythology Horus' eye was injured or stolen by the god Seth and then restored by Thoth.

The wedjat eye embodies healing power and symbolizes rebirth. An amulet in this shape was thought to protect its wearer and to transfer the power of regeneration onto him or her. It was used by the living as well as for the dead. Provenance: Previously in a British private collection from Essex formed prior to 2000. This item is in the category "Antiques\Other Antiques".
