Ca. 664-332 BC. A glazed turquoise faience wedjat amulet, more commonly known as the Eye of Horus, featuring a loop at the top for suspension. The front displays linear carvings of the different eye components, each holding its own value. The eyebrow, here rendered with oblique notches, represents thought; the pupil stands for sight; the triangle between the pupil is hearing, whereas the white of the eye is the smell; the tail represents taste; and the teardrop is touch. The reverse of the pendant remains unworked.Size: L:21.9mm / W:23.1mm ; 3.59gProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s; previously in 1970s UK collection.
