Descripción : Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A fine pendant, hand-carved from a mottled dark-brown stone with green inclusions, depicting a wadjet (wedjat or Eye of Horus), an ancient and powerful hieroglyphic symbol of protection. The pendant has a slender body and a grooved suspension loop on top, with a modern twisted silver-toned wire attached to a modern cord. Size (pendant): 0.875 L x 0.625 H (2.2 cm x 1.6 cm), size (necklace): 13 L (33 cm). According to the AMA Journal of Ethics, The well-known symbol Rx may even be derived from Egyptian hieroglyphics. According to the legend, Horus, the god of sky and of light and the keeper of secret wisdom, sustained a terrible eye injury while seeking to avenge the murder of his father. Later, the eye was magically healed. The eye of Horus thus became a symbol of health, now recognized as Rx, and its placement by physicians on written prescriptions represents an appeal for the success of the recommended remedy.
