Eye of Horus Mug

orus was an Egyptian sky god usually depicted as a falcon. The symbol was also used as a measurement, particularly for ingredients in drugs and pigments. For this, it was divided into six parts, representing the shattering of Horus´ eye into six pieces. Each piece was associated with a specific fraction, but also with one of the six senses they assigned to humans, thought being the one we don’t use as a sense today. In one of the Egyptian myths, Seth gouged out Horus’ left eye when they were fighting for the throne after the death of Osiris.
