The Amulet of the Eye of Horus |
The Amulet of the Eye of Horus is an secret symbol of Egypt, linked with the deity Horus, who lost an eye in his battle to avenge his father, Osiris, Set caused this wound, and Isis repaired the eye, which was called the healthy eye e'er after. It was thought a right symbol. The Amulet portraying the Horus Eye was fashioned out of blue or green faience or from precious stones.
