Description: | Fragments of faience amulets. From Amarna. One is a cobra head, the other part of a wadjet eye. The wadjet eye is the Eye of Horus after it had been plucked from his eye after a battle with Seth. The eye is healed by Thoth and is a symbol of healing. Such amulets were worn in death as well as life. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Temporal: | 1352 B.C.-1336 B.C.
