Egyptian Cartouche

This is an Egyptian cartouche. A cartouche was used to place onto your coffin when you pass away, the Egyptians believed if you put a rope around the outside it would protect you from evil spirits in the after world. On the inside is your name written in Egyptian hieroglyphics, in Egyptian language they always sound out the syllables. etc Michael = M-I-K-L


Try making you're own cartouche!!!
