An Ancient Egyptian faience amulet depicting the pattern of four wedjat eyes, or Eyes of Horus. The amulet is ovoid in shape, and the slightly domed obverse features horizontal incisions. The central horizontal ridge represents the brow bone, from which each eye is engraved at the corner. Additional, curving protrusions beneath the eye represent the cheek markings and link the edges of the amulet. The amulet is perforated horizontally for suspension. Minor earthy encrustations and signs of wear as consistent with age, such as minor chips and pitting to the surface.

The wedjat, as the Eye of Horus, is one of the most popular amulets of ancient Egypt. The amulet combines elements of both human and falcon ocular imagery, as Horus was often depicted as a falcon. Its name comes from the ancient Egyptian ‘wḏꜣt’, meaning “the one that is complete”. The wedjat was highly apotropaic and associated with a number of Egyptian myths. The eye depicted could be either left or right, representing different solar and lunar imagery. Wedjat eye amulets were commonly placed within mummy wrappings to help the dead to help them pass safely into the afterlife.
