Eye of Horus Box | |
|
The eye of Horus also
called Oudjat or
Wedjat, is the left
lunar eye which
originates from the
struggle btween Horus
and Seth. In this
fight, Horus loses
his left eye which is
taken by Seth, but
then Horus acquires
spiritual sight, the
eye of light. The eye
was later healed by
Thoth and returned to
Horus and then
called “the Oudjat”
(“the Whole One”). It
was a symbol of the
power of the God of
light, and therefore
a popular amulet for
protection and good
luck. Some oudjat
eyes had an arm
carrying the Ankh or
the papyrus staff,
symbol for “to
flourish”. The eye of
Horus was also used
as a protection
against the evil eye.
From the late old
kingdom, two oudjat
eyes were placed on
the door recesses of
tombs.
