Late Middle Kingdom One of the most popular amulets in ancient Egypt, the wedjat eye represents the healed eye of the god Horus. It depicts a combination of a human and a falcon eye, since Horus was often associated with a falcon. Its ancient Egyptian name, wedjat, means "the one that is sound (again)." In Egyptian mythology Horus eye was injured or stolen by the god Seth and then restored by Thoth. The wedjat eye embodies healing power and symbolizes regeneration. An amulet in this shape was thought to protect its wearer and to transfer the power of regeneration onto him or her. It was used by the living as well as for the dead..

They employed lost-wax casting to create the object, designing all of the details originally in wax. (For more information on lost-wax casting, please see Metropolitan Museum of Art 2008.569.13a, b). The workers used a core in the process of casting. They formed the horizontal extensions in wax around this ceramic core, which would have been located in the cavities now visible on the reverse. The core was removed from these locations after solidification of the metal. The use of a core helped to give dimensionality to these horizontal extensions and would have come into contact with the ceramic investment that the artists built around the entire object. A person may have worn such an object by threading the central loop through the septum of their nose, as suggested by the manner in which these ornaments were worn on certainClose-up of an embossing deviceScandianvia.
