History

The udjat, or Eye of Horus, is one of the most enduring symbols of ancient Egypt, representing protection, healing, wholeness and divine power. According to Egyptian mythology, the god Horus lost his eye in a battle with Seth. After it was restored, the healed eye became a powerful emblem of renewal and protection, worn as an amulet by both the living and the dead for thousands of years.

This finely carved example is engraved with hieroglyphs reading, in part, "... ntr nfr" ("... the great god ..."), adding a sacred dimension to the piece. Such amulets were believed to invoke the protection of the gods, safeguard their wearer from harm and promote health and wellbeing.

More than 3,000 years later, the Eye of Horus remains a timeless symbol of resilience and protection. Owning an authentic ancient amulet offers a tangible connection to the beliefs, artistry and spirituality of one of history's greatest civilisations. It is a small object that once carried immense meaning for its original owner and continues to resonate today.
