    From the old Belfort collection, expert Jean Roudillon. Ex Hotel des Ventes de Belfort. Property of a French collector.

    The wedjat-eye amulet represents the healed eye of the god Horus, featuring both human and falcon elements. The name wedjat in ancient Egyptian means ‘the one that is sound.’ According to Egyptian mythology, Horus' eye was wounded or taken by the god Seth and restored by Thoth. The wedjat-eye amulet was thought to protect its wearer and bestow the power of recovery and regeneration onto them. As such, it was used by both the living and the dead.
