Item Details
Description
This exquisite ancient Egyptian green faience Wedjat Eye amulet represents the Late Period of ancient Egypt, dating between 664 and 332 BC. The amulet's dimensions are 5x4.x1.5 cm, or approximately 1.97x1.57x0.59 inches. Faience, with its glassy luster, was a favored material for amulets in ancient Egypt due to its symbolic association with rebirth and the sun's rays. The Wedjat Eye, known as the Eye of Horus, was an ancient symbol of protection, royal power, and good health. This amulet likely served as a protective talisman for the bearer in life and in the afterlife. The craftsmanship displayed in the carving of this piece exemplifies the artistry of the period. It is a remarkable artifact for those who appreciate the deep history and complex beliefs of ancient Egyptian culture.
