The Wedjet; also known as the eye of Horus is a very powerful symbol in Ancient Egypt. It thus represents the "eye" of the Falcon (Horus) who represents the Sun. This wedjat most likely served as a talisman for protection which could also bring strength and prosperity. This piece is in a perfect state of preservation. Lovely blue colour faience, with suspension hole. Dates to circa the 18th Dynasty. This Wedjat measurs 1.5 inches in length.
