Eye of Wdjat
The Eye of Wdjat (see spelling variations), and also called the Eye of Anubis by Upper Deck Entertainment, is an ancient Egyptian symbol, appearing various times throughout Yu-Gi-Oh! media. In Egyptian mythology, Wdjat was the protector of Lower Egypt, and the eye symbol used by her was slightly altered to create the Eye of Horus and later the Eye of Ra.
The symbol has two forms; one featuring an eye, teardrop and tail and one featuring just an eye.
