Description
An udjat-eye made from diorite, it lay on the right shoulder, in balance with another one on the left upper arm. It is pierced for suspension. The udjat-eye is identified with the eye of Horus, the offering of this amulet would suffice instead of actual food offerings in the daily ritual. The udjat-eye is probably found on mummies in greater numbers than any other amulet but was also worn by the living. This amulet is basic in shape, with no detail.

Oedjat-oog van dioriet, afkomstig van de rechter schouder, met als pendant een tweede op de linker bovenarm. Er zit een ophangoogje aan. Het oedjat-oog wordt geïdentificeerd met het oog van Horus en het offeren van dit oog stond gelijk aan daadwerkelijke voedseloffers tijdens het dagelijkse ritueel. Het oedjat-oog is waarschijnlijk het meest veelvuldig op mummies gevonden in vergelijking tot andere amuletten, maar het werd ook door de levenden gedragen. De vorm van dit amulet is eenvoudig, zonder details.
Oeil-oudjat en diorite retrouvé sur l'épaule droite d'une momie; il allait de pair avec un autre placé sur le bras gauche. Il est doté d'un trou de suspension. L'oeil-oudjat était identifié à l'oeil d'Horus. Dans le rituel quotidien, cette amulette pouvait être offerte en guise d'offrandes alimentaires. L'oeil-oudjat est probablement l'amulette la plus fréquemment retrouvée sur les momies; les vivants le portaient également. Cette amulette est simple et non détaillée.
Ein Udjat-Auge aus Diorit, das auf der rechten Schulter plaziert war, als Gegenstück zu einem weiteren auf dem linken Oberarm. Das Udjat-Auge galt als Auge des Horus, und die Darbringung dieses Amulettes genügte anstelle des tatsächlichen Speiseopfers beim täglichen Kult. Das Udjat-Auge ist wahrscheinlich häufiger an Mumien zu finden als jedes andere Amulett, wurde aber auch von den Lebenden getragen. Das Amulett weist lediglich die Grundform auf, besitzt aber keinerlei Innenzeichnung.
Occhio-udjat in diorite, posto sulla spalla destra del defunto in equilibrio con un altro posto sulla parte superiore del braccio sinistro. L'oggetto era forato per poter essere appeso. L'occhio-udjat era identificato con l'occhio di Horo e si riteneva che l'offerta di questo amuleto potesse sostituire le offerte reali di cibo nel rituale quotidiano. Questo amuleto si ritrova in numero maggiore di qualsiasi altro fra le mummie ma poteva anche essere indossato dai vivi. Questo amuleto è delineato nella sua forma base, senza dettagli.
Olho-udjat feito em diorite, colocado sobre o ombro direito, equilibrado com outro na parte superior do braço esquerdo. Está perfurado para suspensao. O olho-udjat estava identificado com o olho de Hórus, sendo, por si só, oferenda suficiente, em comparaçao às oferendas diárias de comida real. O olho-udjat é encontrado, em grandes quantidades, nas múmias, mais do que qualquer outro amuleto, sendo, no entanto, igualmente utilizado em vida. Este amuleto apresenta forma básica, sem detalhes.
Ojo-udyat de diorita. Estába colocado sobre el hombro derecho, haciendo pareja con otro semejante colocado en la parte superior del brazo izquierdo. Está agujereado para poder colgarlo. El ojo-udyat se identifica con el ojo de Horus; ofrendar ese amuleto bastaría para sustituir las ofrendas alimentícias del ritual diario. Es probable que el ojo-udyat apareza en las momias más habitualmente que cualquier otro amuleto, pero también era llevado por los vivos. Este amuleto es de forma básica, sin detalles.

Object''s History
The amulets were removed from a mummy which was in such poor condition that it was considered unsuitable for exhibition. The amulets were revealed during radiographic examination and removed in 1967, other parts of the body were used for research purposes. The solidity of the resin in and around the body meant that it could be broken only with difficulty and the amulets were embedded in this solid casing. Thirty amulets came from the thoracic region and the other two from the abdominal area.
