Oude Egypte, Middenrijk lapis lazuli Amulet - 3 cm

Ancient Egyptian amulet carved in lapis lazuli depicting the Wedjat (Eye of Horus), one of the most important protective symbols of ancient Egyptian religion. The eye is rendered in raised relief with incised details and traditional stylized features characteristic of Egyptian amuletic art. A suspension perforation at the top indicates that the piece was intended to be worn as a pendant or protective amulet. The stone displays an attractive blue coloration with natural inclusions and surface deposits acquired over time. The Wedjat symbol represented protection, healing, restoration and divine safeguarding, making it one of the most widely used amulets throughout Egyptian history. Based on its iconography, material and workmanship, the piece is plausibly attributable to the Third Intermediate Period through the Late Period, approximately the 21st–26th Dynasties (c. 1070–525 BC). Material: Lapis lazuli Dimensions: approximately 3 × 3 cm Condition: Good condition overall, with age wear, surface encrustations and minor losses consistent with antiquity. The surface retains dark mineral encrustations and burial deposits, particularly visible on the reverse, consistent with long-term age and burial conditions. Provenance: Acquired from Harmer Rooke Numismatists Ltd. An attractive and highly collectible example of one of the most iconic amulets of Ancient Egypt.
