Eye of Horus

The Eye of Horus was an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health in ancient Egypt, where, according to the lore of Ancient Egyptian myth, it was believed to have healing and protective power, and often used to to ensure the safety and health of the bearer and as such used as a protective amulet. The renowned Curse-Breaker Patricia Rakepick wore this symbol of her clothing when she arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the Start-of-Term Feast in the 1987–1988 school year at the behest of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore to help locate and render harmless the remaining three of the fabled Cursed Vaults.

Behind the scenes

 * The fact that Madam Rakepick wears the Eye of Horus on her person indicates that the symbol might either have some innate or otherwise can be imbued with powerful protective enchantments to shield the wearer from Dark Magic. If so, it would make perfect sense for a Curse-Breaker to wear it.
