Cartouche

My Aunt Debbie recently went on vacation to Egypt, and I was insanely jealous. Looking at the pictures she has on Facebook didn't help. lol. While she was there, though, she got souvenirs for my mom, sisters, and myself: cartouche necklaces with our names on the front, and a trio of other hieroglyphs on the back. They're REALLY cool :)


According to the card that came with it, the symbols for my name mean "independent one" (S), "powerful and strong person" (A), "talk too much" (R), and "diplomatic person" (H).


The signs stamped on the back are for long life (the ankh), protection (the eye of Horus, one of the ancient Egyptian gods), and good luck (the scarab).
