The Deer Eye, or Ojo de Venado, is a traditional protective amulet used to guard children and babies against the evil eye, envy, jealousy, and unwanted spiritual influence. The smooth brown seed is believed to act as a protective focus, drawing harmful attention away from the person carrying or wearing it.
These handmade Deer Eyes are paired with red beads, cord, and devotional imagery, combining several familiar protective elements into one portable charm. Wear one around the wrist, keep it in a handbag or pocket, or place it near a child’s bed, personal space, or other area where protection is desired.
Because each Deer Eye is individually assembled, colors, beads, images, and details may vary slightly from piece to piece.
