介绍（中）	wedjat眼睛护身符代表荷鲁斯神治愈的眼睛，荷鲁斯神可以描绘成猎鹰或人形，也可以描绘成鹰头人。眼睛既有人类元素，也有猎鹰元素。它展示了一只人眼，它的外角有一条水平的装饰线，并将其与猎鹰的风格化面部标记相结合。后者反映在瞳孔下方的垂直延伸和以螺旋结束的对角线上。护身符右侧的小三角形标记是从托勒密时期的wedjat eye象形文字中得知的，这个护身符很可能也可以追溯到这个时期古埃及名字"wedjat"的意思是"有声音的人"。在埃及神话中，荷鲁斯的眼睛被赛斯神打伤或偷走，然后被托思修复。wedjat眼体现了治愈的力量，象征着重生。这种形状的护身符被认为是为了保护佩戴者，并将恢复和再生的力量传递给他或她。它非常受欢迎，被生者和死者使用。
介绍（英）	The wedjat eye amulet represents the healed eye of the god Horus, who can be depicted in falcon or human shape, or as a falcon headed man. The eye features both human and falcon elements. It shows a human eye with a horizontal cosmetic line that extends from its outer corner and combines it with the stylized facial markings of a falcon. The latter are reflected in the vertical extension below the pupil and in the diagonal line that ends in a spiral. The small triangular markings on the amulet’s right side are known from wedjat eye hieroglyphs of the Ptolemaic Period and it is likely that this amulet dates to this period as well. The ancient Egyptian name "wedjat" means "the one that is sound." In Egyptian mythology Horus’ eye was injured or stolen by the god Seth and then restored by Thoth. The wedjat eye embodies healing power and symbolizes rebirth. An amulet in this shape was thought to protect its wearer and to transfer the power of recovery and regeneration onto him or her. It was very popular and used by the living as well as for the dead.
