The udjat eye amulet, or the Eye of Horus, combines elements of the human eye and the cheek markings of a falcon. Its ancient Egyptian name means “the one that is sound (again),” symbolizing the healed eye of the falcon god, Horus. The right udjat eye is associated with the sun, and the left is connected to the moon.
