The wedjet-eye was supposedly the eye that Seth tore from Horus during a battle over who would lead the gods. Thoth healed the injured eye, returning it to Horus as the \"sound one.\" Wedjat-eye amulets were used from the Old Kingdom through the Roman Period and whether worn as a bracelet for everyday wear or tucked among mummy wrappings, this amulet was an effective source of protection, strength and perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Length: 2.9 cm (1.14 inches)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e With minor expected wear, intact and in very good condition overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e RDA private collection, acquired from the NY trade as part of a collection assembled in the 1970's and 1980's.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard D'Andrea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40552140341292,"sku":"EA2009","price":662.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/3933\/4188\/products\/EA2009.jpg?v=1659508792","url":"https:\/\/qrack-shop.myshopify.com\/en-au\/products\/ea2009","provider":"qrack shop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
