This elegant silver-tone Egyptian pendant measures 3cm in diameter, excluding the loop on top, and features an Eye of Horus (also known as Eye of Ra) design. It comes strung on a plain black cord (not leather) which can be tied to your preferred length.
In ancient Egypt the Eye of Horus was believed to have healing and protective powers and it was used as a protective amulet. The Eye of Horus or “udjat” represents the eye of a human combined with the cheek markings of a falcon – which reflects the mythological story of Osiris (the God of Vegetation), Isis (the Goddess of Fertility) and their sons, Horus and Seth.
