Description: | Wadjet eye amulet in faience with black brow and large pupil. This is the left eye. The object is plain on reverse. 40mm wide. This item had belonged to the collection of Lord Aberdare and was transferred from the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff to Swansea. The wadjet eye or 'Eye of Horus' was worn in life as well as death. Egyptian religion told a story of how Seth took out Horus's eye and how it was restored and healed by Hathor/Thoth. The eye was therefore a symbol of completeness. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Source: | Egypt Centre | Identifier: | http://www.egyptcentre.org.uk/index.asp?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
