What is a Cartouche?

A cartouche is a carved tablet or drawing representing a scroll with rolled-up ends, bearing an inscription.

The cartouche has become a symbol representing good luck and protection from evil. Egyptians believed that one who had their name recorded somewhere (such as on a cartouche) would not disappear after death.
