The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power, and good health. The Eye of Horus was a sacred symbol said to protect anything behind it. It is the “All seeing Eye”. It is a symbol of great God power. The symbol was frequently used in jewelry to ensure the safety and health of the bearer and provide wisdom and prosperity.
According to Egyptian myth, Horus lost his left eye in a struggle with Seth. The eye was magically restored by Hathor, and this restoration came to symbolize the process of making whole and healing. For this reason, the symbol was often used in amulets.
Known as Wadjet, the eye of Horus was intended to protect the pharaoh in the afterlife and to ward off evil. Ancient Egyptian and Middle-Eastern sailors would frequently paint the symbol on the bow of their vessel to ensure safe sea travel.
