Description: | Bright blue faience wadjet eye. Black pupil and Re line. Right Eye. 2cm wide. 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.
