Also known as the Wadjet Eye and Udjet Eye, this symbol represents the eye of the moon which Set stole from Horus and which was later restored to him by Thoth.
It is a popular protection amulet, worn to protect against evil, symbolising the power of light embodied in the solar god Horus. It was also painted in pairs on coffins and sarcophagi to protect the enclosed body.
