This Wadjet Eye pendant is crafted from lead-free pewter and plated with 22ct gold. It comes with a waxed cord and a mounted information card, featuring an Egyptian image on the front and a description of how animals were revered as gods in ancient Egypt on the back.
The Egyptians shared their environment with many different beasts, birds, fish and reptiles. These animals would appear on many objects including sculptures, jewellery and hieroglyphics. These animals were thought of as part of the ‘world system’ made by the sun god, and as earthly versions of many gods.
The Eye of Horus or Wadjet Eye symbolised both the vengeful eye of the sun god and the eye of the god Horus. It was said to protect everything behind it.
Materials: Lead-free pewter that is 22ct gold plated
Dimensions: 2.8 x 2.3cm
