content: Similar in form (though inscription differs) to the "Eye stone amulet" held by the Morgan Library and Museum (MLC no. 2624). Per the description on this object's webpage, Agates were carved to resemble an eye using the stone's natural bands, and "votive inscriptions indicated placement of the object on an altar or in a temple as a gift to a deity."
