Cartouche
|
A cartouche was an oval circle with a name written in it, rather like a nameplate. In the early days of ancient Egypt, a cartouche was attached to the coffins of kings and queens. As time went on, many people hired an artist to create a cartouche for their own coffins. The ancient Egyptians believed that you
had to have your name written down somewhere, so that you would not
disappear when you died. By attaching a cartouche to their coffin,
people made sure their name was written down in one place at least! Explore Ancient Egypt Daily Life, Government, Inventions, Religion Free Ancient Egyptian Gods Clipart for Kids Free Templates in PowerPoint format for Ancient Egypt Return to Ancient Egypt for Kids
