Ancient Egyptian Faience Wedjat Eye - Eye of Horus Amulet Circa 664-30 BC (Late Period to Ptolemaic Period) This pale blue faience amulet represents the Wedjat eye - Eye of Horus, with a defined eyebrow, pupil, and extended cosmetic line. The Eye of Horus, also known as the Wedjat or Udjat, holds profound significance in ancient Egyptian mythology. Its origin is deeply rooted in the myth of Osiris and Seth, where Horus, the son of Osiris, avenges his father's murder by engaging in a fierce battle with Seth. During the conflict, Seth gouges out Horus's eye, later restored through the divine intervention of Thoth, the god of wisdom. Worn as a protective amulet, the Eye of Horus symbolized healing, regeneration, and divine protection. Its association with the mythical narrative of Horus imbued it with potent symbolism, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking spiritual and physical well-being in ancient Egyptian society.
