| Our sterling silver with 18K Gold Round-Style (Shen) Cartouche is handmade in Egypt with your name in Hieroglyphics or Arabic. A cartouche was worn as an Egyptian health talisman and was intended to protect the king's name from evil influences.
Shen: A loop of rope that has no beginning and no end, it symbolized eternity. The sun disk is often depicted in the center of it. The shen also seems to be a symbol of protection. It is often seen being clutched by deities in bird form, Horus the falcon, Mut the vulture. Hovering over Pharaohs head with their wings outstretched in a gesture of protection. The word shen comes from the word (shenu) which means (encircle), and in its elongated form became the cartouche which surrounded the king's name.
Your cartouche's size will be approximately 1 1/2" long.
