A cartouche is the nameplate or seal that was used by ancient Egyptian royalty as a powerful amulet of protection for all eternity. The oval shape is encircled by a rope, tied in a knot at the bottom, and symbolized 'all that the sun encompasses'. The earliest examples of cartouches date back to the 2nd Dynasty of Egypt, but their common usage started under king Sneferu during the 4th Dynasty. The ancient Egyptian word for cartouche was shenu. Each pendant is made by hand from start to finish.
