Description : Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A fine set of 4 mold-formed faience amulets: 1 scarab and 3 quadruple wadjet (also wedjat or Eye of Horus). The ovoid scarab features vertical striations across its wing carapace as well as a petite head, and along the underside is a fragmentary suspension loop. The 3 quadruple wadjet amulets each bear lustrous layers of blue or blue-green glaze, with the largest being further accentuated with applied black pigments. Within Egyptian mythology, the god Horus lost his eye to an attack from his uncle Seth. However, the eye was later magically restored by his wife Hathor. As such, the eye of Horus served as a symbol of healing and protection in ancient Egypt.
