Eye of Horus
According to mythology, while Horus battled the god Seth, his left eye was plucked out by his opponent. The eye was then restored and healed by the god, Thoth. Eye of Horus, or Wedjat, amulets represent the right eye of Horus and are associated with rebirth, regeneration, and the deflection of evil, and were a symbol of protection in the afterlife, worn by the deceased.
