Description
The watchful gaze of these benevolent eyes is a powerful ward of protection. To ancient Egyptians, the Eye of Horus symbolized spiritual protection, wisdom and prosperity. To Buddhists, the Eyes of Buddha gazing from the tops if holy shrines represent the omniscience of the wise and compassionate Buddha. The hamsa (The Hand of Fatima) is an ancient Middle Eastern amulet to ward off curses and welcome blessings. The arrowhead is held by many Native American tribes to represent protection from one's enemies. Aloe vera, a healing plant, is thought to protect against accidents and intruders.
Combined and entwined, these elements form a visual manifestation of protection, safekeeping and good fortune.
