Eye of Horus
Based on this famous myth, the Eye of Horus became a sacred symbol of sacrifice, healing, regeneration, wholeness, and protection in ancient Egypt.
As such, its symbol was often carved into amulets and jewelry made of gold, silver, porcelain, lapis, wood, and carnelian, to ensure the health and protection of the wearers and offer them prosperity and wisdom.
It was also carved into funerary monuments to offer the souls of the departed safe passage to the underworld and the afterlife. The eye is also used as a hieroglyph and represents fractional calculations.
