Eye of Horus Leather Bracelet

The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol representing protection, healing, and restoration. It originates from the myth of Horus, the falcon-headed god, who lost his left eye in a battle with his uncle, Seth. Thoth, the god of wisdom, magically restored the eye, which came to symbolize wholeness and recovery.
The Eye of Horus was commonly used in amulets to safeguard individuals, especially in burials, where it was believed to protect the deceased and ensure their well-being in the afterlife. It was also associated with the moon, as its waxing and waning were likened to the injury and restoration of Horus’s eye.
The symbol was widely used in Egyptian art, jewelry, and temple rituals, appearing on coffins, tomb chapels, and boats. Over time, its meaning expanded to represent health, prosperity, and divine protection.
Ancient Egyptians were skilled leatherworkers, using leather for clothing, footwear, armor, chariot harnesses, and decorative items. Leather was an important material, though due to its organic nature, it rarely survives in archaeological records.
