This stone relief depicts the Eye of Horus (Wedjat Eye), one of the most powerful protective symbols of ancient Egyptian culture. The stylized eye combines a curved eyebrow, outlined eye, and a distinctive vertical line resembling a teardrop, with a curling line extending to the side.
Historical Background
The Eye of Horus comes from the myth of the sky god Horus, who lost his eye in battle with his uncle Set. The eye was later restored, becoming a symbol of healing, protection, and renewal.
In ancient Egypt, the Eye of Horus was widely used as an amulet and appeared on murals, jewelry, pottery, and tomb decorations. It was believed to safeguard against evil, protect the pharaoh in life and death, and ensure prosperity and health.
This relief is a modern interpretation inspired by those ancient designs, carrying forward the legacy of one of Egypt’s most enduring symbols.
