This print showcases a mesmerizing Wedjat eye amulet made of cornelian, originating from ancient Egypt. The intricate craftsmanship and vibrant color of the amulet are beautifully captured in this image by eHeini Schneebeli. The Wedjat eye amulet holds great significance in Egyptian culture as it was believed to possess powerful protective properties against evil spirits. This small talisman, with its distinct shape resembling the Eye of Horus or Udjat, was worn or carried by individuals seeking spiritual guidance and safeguarding.

The Wedjat eye amulet serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with the supernatural and our innate desire for protection against unseen forces.
