Egyptian Museum, Cairo Dynasty XVIII, 1347-1237 B.C.

Cartouche is the French word that scholars gave to the oval ring in
which a king’s name is written. The ancient Egyptians called it
“shenu” which means “to encircle”. The idea being to represent the
king as ruler of all that the sun encircled. This box is part of the
treasures found in the tomb of the young king Tutankhamun. The lid
of the box is inscribed with the name of Tutankhamun and reads as
follows: Tut Ankh Amun (Perfect in the life of Amun), ruler of On
(Thebes, today’s Luxor) of Upper Egypt.
