Amulets with the eyes of Horus were very popular in Ancient Egypt. Horus, the Falcon God, received an artificial eye from Ra after losing one of his own in a fierce battle against Seth.
This Eye of Horus, dating back to the Late Period (664-525 BC), is made of faience, a common ceramic material of the time made from fused sand. Its state of preservation is excellent. It has been acquired from a prestigious antiquarian and comes from a private collection. A certificate issued by the antiquarian, attesting to the authenticity of the piece, is included.
In our workshops, we have handcrafted an 18k gold setting with a genuine emerald to enhance and protect it, returning it to its intended function 2500 years later. Our antiques are always genuine, never replicas, and come with a certificate of authenticity.
