Cartouche
Cartouche is a character (sign) of a hieroglyph used in ancient Egypt, a curve surrounding Pharaoh's name. In ancient Egypt, it is a character called Shen, which is a stretched Shen long and thin. Even now it is possible to confirm the cartouche to the name of Pharaoh drawn on a mural painting. Cartouche is a French meaning a rifle of rifle, and it corresponds to a cartridge in English. It became called like this because of its similar shape. Cartouche was originally a rope hieroglyph and meant to "surround". It surrounds and protects Pharaoh's name from surrounding and protecting around. The stick-like part represents a knot, and the name starts reading from the opposite side of the knot. It was taken from Snarkel of the 4th Dynasty of the Egyptian Kingdom who began to surround the Pharaoh name in Cartouche. ...
