What Is a Cartouche?

In ancient Egypt, a cartouche (from the French word for “cartridge”) was an oval-shaped symbol enclosing royal names written in hieroglyphs. Its looped design – derived from the “shen ring” – symbolized eternity, protection, and divine power.

Originally used by Egyptian pharaohs, the cartouche served as both a protective amulet and a representation of the king’s divine identity. The tradition dates back to the 2nd Dynasty, gaining widespread use during the reign of Pharaoh Sneferu in the Fourth Dynasty.

Fun Fact: When Napoleon’s scholars saw this oval symbol during his 1798 Egyptian expedition, they thought it resembled a bullet cartridge, hence the name “cartouche.”
