EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite wedjat eye amulets made of obsidian, dating back to the Late Period of ancient Egypt (715-332 BC). The amulets are part of a private collection and are beautifully captured in this image by photographer Heini Schneebeli. The wedjat eye amulet holds great significance in Egyptian mythology as a powerful protective symbol associated with the god Horus. It is believed to bring good health, protection, and prosperity to its wearer. These particular amulets feature intricate details and are crafted from obsidian, a volcanic glass known for its deep black color. Measuring 1.9cm at the top and 1.7cm at the bottom, these small yet striking artifacts hold immense historical value. Their timeless beauty serves as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artisans. This photograph not only captures the physical attributes of these precious objects but also invites us to delve into their rich cultural context. As we admire these wedjat eye amulets through this lens, we can appreciate their symbolic importance within Egyptian society and gain insight into their role as talismans against evil forces. Bridgeman Images has provided art enthusiasts with an opportunity to explore this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's vast collection without any commercial intentions or implications mentioned here.
