Students prepared their own personalized Cartouche with their names written in Hieroglyphics.

A cartouche, in Egyptian hieroglyphs, is an oblong enclosure with a vertical line at one end, indicating the text enclosed is a deity or a royal name. The Ancient Egyptian word for it was shenu; the label cartouche was first applied by Napoleonic soldiers who fancied the symbol they saw so frequently repeated on the pharaonic ruins they encountered resembled a gun cartridge (cartouche in French).
