Description
An udjat-eye with a plain surface. This amulet was identified with the eye of Horus, the offering of this 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 it was also worn by the living.

Oedjat-oog met een effen oppervlak. Het oedjat-oog werd 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.
Oeil-oudjat dont la surface est simple. 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.
Ein Udjat-Auge mit unverzierter Oberfläche. 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.
Amuleto di un occhio-udjat con superficie piatta. Questo amuleto era identificato con l'occhio di Horo e la sua offerta doveva sostituire nel rituale le offerte quotidiane di cibo. L'occhio-udjat rappresenta probabilmente l'oggetto trovato in numero maggiore nelle mummie ma poteva essere indossato anche dai vivi.
Olho-udjat com superfície plana. Este amuleto foi identificado com o olho de Hórus, sendo a sua oferenda suficiente, por si só, substituíndo as oferendas diárias de comida real. O olho-udjat era, provávelmente, encontrado, em grande número, nas múmias, mais do que qualquer outro amuleto, sendo igualmente usado em vida.
Ojo-udyat de superficie plana. Este amuleto era identificado con el ojo de Horus y su ofrenda bastaría para sustituir a las ofrendas alimentícias del ritual diario. Probablemente, el ojo-udyat aparece en las momias en mayor cantidad que cualquier otro amuleto, pero también era llevado por los vivos.
