This original bracelet is formed, not of beads or gold but of fifteen "Eyes of Horus," which are called, in the ancient Egyptian language, Udjat eyes.

The two largest eyes are made of beautiful agate naturally colored in irregular layers of red and brown, separated by gradations of grey and white. The thirteen smaller eyes are made of lapis lazuli, called by the Egyptians, khesbed, which means "joy" or "delight."

It is worth mentioning that jewelry had a mainly protective or magical function, so this bracelet with the eyes provides its wearer with strong protection because the Udjat eye is the best-known amulet for protection.
