An Ancient Kite-Shaped Amulet with Eye Motifs, 1st Millennium BCE

Item Details

Description

This intriguing kite-shaped amulet, spanning 5.5 x 2.5 cm, is adorned with concentric eye motifs, a common talisman against the evil eye in ancient times. Crafted from a dense, dark stone, its smooth surface is etched with a pattern of eyes, believed to endow the bearer with protective qualities and spiritual insight. Such artifacts were often personal items, carried for safety and assurance. The meticulous arrangement of the eyes suggests a significant effort to maximize its apotropaic effects. Originating from the 1st millennium BCE, this piece reflects the enduring human desire for protection and the interconnectedness of art and superstition.
Provenance:
Formerly part of a distinguished antique gallery in Kathmandu.
