Wedjat eye from string of amulets
Third Intermediate Period
Nine amulets of various materials were found threaded together in a tight group around the throat of the Lady Djedmutesankh; two of these, of green glass, disintegrated after they were discovered. This is a wedjat, the mythological eye of Horus that was wounded and then magically made whole. It was thus considered a powerful symbol of healing and regeneration.
For the amulet group, see 25.3.169-related.
