The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian
symbol of protection,royal power and good health.The eye is personified in
the goddess Wadjet'.
The name Wadjet is derived from
"wadj" meaning "green",hence "the green one",
and was known to the Greeks and Romans as "uraeus" from the Egyptian
"iaret" meaning "risen one".Wadjet was one of the earliest
of Egyptian deities who later became associated with other goddesses such as
Bast,Sekhmet,Mut,and Hathor.She was the tutelary deity of Lower Egypt and
the major Delta shrine the "per-nu" was under her protection.Hathor
is also depicted with this eye.
Funerary amulets were often made in the
shape of the Eye of Horus.The Wadjet or Eye of Horus is "the central
element" of seven "gold,faience,carnelian and lapis lazuli"
bracelets found on the mummy of Shoshenq II.The Wedjat "was intended to
protect the pharaoh [here] in the afterlife" and to ward off evil.Ancient
Egyptian and Near Eastern sailors would frequently paint the symbol on the bow
of their vessel to ensure safe sea travel.
