In ancient Egyptian culture, painting the eyes, particularly on tombs and mummies, held significant spiritual meaning. The eyes symbolized perception and protection, allowing the deceased to see and navigate the afterlife. This practice was believed to ensure that the deceased could communicate and interact with the divine, as well as safeguard against malevolent forces. Ultimately, the painted eyes represented a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, facilitating a safe passage into eternity.
