AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cod. 240251.2520/APLL
Late Period, ca. 664-332 BC. A stone amulet that shows a stylized representation of the Eye of Horus. In ancient Egyptian symbolism, the Eye of Horus, also known as the wedjat eye, represented the eye of the hawk-headed god Horus. It symbolized protection, royal power, and good health. The association of the eye with Horus, the sky god and divine protector, conveyed a sense of vigilance and protection against malevolent forces. Furthermore, it was believed that the Eye of Horus possessed healing properties and was often used as an amulet to invoke the protective influence of the deity.|
