Eye of Ra
Egyptian sun symbol
The Eye of Ra is a symbol from ancient Egyptian mythology representing the sun god Ra's feminine counterpart and destructive power.
Often depicted as a cobra or solar disk, it embodies divine wrath and protection—Ra could send his Eye to punish enemies or restore cosmic order.
The Eye appears in Egyptian art as the uraeus cobra on pharaohs' crowns.
It overlaps with but differs from the Eye of Horus, which represents healing and protection rather than solar fury.
