This is an udjat-eye carved from very pure amethyst. The contours of the amulet were skilfully carved and follow the typical shape of this particular object. Both surfaces have been polished and slightly rounded. No incised details appear on the surface but, as the amethyst is very transparent, the suspension hole pierced through the length of the amulet is visible.

Il s'agit d'un oeil-oudjat taillé dans de l'améthyste très pure. Le pourtour de l'amulette est de facture très délicate et suit parfaitement les contours traditionnels de cet objet. Les deux faces sont polies et légèrement bombées. Aucun détail incisé n'apparaît sur la surface. L'améthyste, très claire, laisse voir le trou de suspension fait sur toute la longueur de l'amulette.
