Ca. 664-30 BC. A selection of five uzat amulets, also referred to as eye of Horus or Wedjat-eye amulets, with fine details and notched eyebrows. The amulet is horizontally pierced for suspension. The wedjat-eye amulet depicts a human eye with a brow, the two stylised lines below the eye are often identified as the facial markings of a falcon. The wedjat-eye was supposedly the eye that Seth tore from Horus during a battle over who would lead the gods. Cf. Petrie, W. M. F. 1914. Amulets. London. (p. 32-33, pl.
