Wedjat eye mold and amulet

“Most faience amulets were mass-produced in ceramic molds like this one. Faience paste was pressed into the mold to make a positive form, and then quickly removed. The amulet was then placed in a kiln. This mold was for making the very popular wedjat eye amulet, which was worn to promote health and well-being.” (Jennifer Wegner, label text, “Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt”)
