| Sterling Silver Hollow Hoop-Style Personalised Cartouche Earrings.
Whenever the alphabetic name or symbolic title of an important Queen or Pharaoh was written, the hieroglyphic sumbols were depicted within ovals. This Oval shape (known as Cartouche) was represented as being formed of a rope, of which the two ends are knotted together. The oval was intended to protect the king's name from evil influences, for to injure the king's name was to injure the king himself. The double knot was believed to be an amulet of great power.
This Cartouche comes in one size that can fit up to 4 Letters. |
