Description: | Faience wadjet eye. 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. 24-85-39 written in black ink along side. Two pierced holes, running longtidunally. 97mm long. Reversible eye, incomplete damaged in antiquity (the 'post' is missing). Originally part of the collection of Lord Aberdare. Transferred from the National Museum of Wales Cardiff. | 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 |
