So what exactly is a cartouche?
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 symbolizes 'all that the sun encompasses'.
The earliest examples of cartouches date back to the Second Dynasty of Egypt, but their common usage started under Pharaoh Sneferu during the Fourth Dynasty. The ancient Egyptian word for cartouche was "shenu". Fun fact: When Napoleon was in Egypt in the 1800's he thought that the shen symbol looked like a bullet cartridge, and referred to them as 'cartouches', the French word for cartridges.
