Egyptian Gold Wedjat Eye Amulet, Late Period, Dynasty 26-29, c. 664-380 BC

The wedjat-eye amulet represents a human eye with its brow, but the lines below the eye are often identified as the facial markings of a falcon. The wedjat-eye was supposedly the eye that Seth tore from Horus during a battle over who would lead the gods. Thoth healed the injured eye, returning it to Horus as the “sound one.” Wedjat-eye amulets were used from the Old Kingdom through the Roman Period and whether worn as a bracelet for everyday wear or tucked among mummy wrappings, this amulet was effective source of protection, strength and perfection.
