AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
古代エジプトの護符で、ウェジャット、すなわちホルスの目を描いた美しい半透明のカルネリアンから作られています。護符には典型的なシルエットがあり、人間と猛禽の眼球表現が組み合わさっています。長い眉の直下には目があり、化粧線で刻まれています。目はスタイライズされた形で描かれ、瞳を表す円形の切れ込みが設けられています。その下には、肋状で長方形の突出部、頬の印象として知られる部分が下方へ伸びています。さらに、目の端から護符の下端へ斜めに曲がる最終的な切込みがあり、螺旋状で終わっています。護符はやや凸の輪郭を示し、上部へ吊り下げ用の穴があるものの現在は塞がれています。年代を示す摩耗の痕跡として、土臭い付着物や小さなピットがあり、経年を示します。縁の欠けも見られます。表面と裏面には安定した垂直亀裂があります。
ホルスは古代エジプトで最も重要な神の一柱であり、最も一般的には猛禽の頭と人の体を持つ姿で描かれます。彼は太陽と月の神であり、右眼が太陽、左眼が月を象徴すると考えられてきました。ウェジャットとしても知られるホルスの目は、死後の守護を象徴する古代のシンボルであり、邪悪を退ける力もありました。このため、埋葬の際に故人に身につけさせたり、ぶら下げたりすることが多かったのです。この象徴はエジプトの生活にも大きな影響を及ぼし、古代の船乗りたちは船の艫にこの像を描いて邪悪を祓ったと伝えられます。
Measurements (Circa): H 2cm x L 2.9cm
