Besides pyramids, sphinx and tombs full of treasures, the Egyptians are known for their hieroglyphic alphabet, which is a phonetic system of picture-writing where each picture represents different words, actions ideas, or letters. All of the letters in hieroglyphics were consonants. The Egyptians did not write vowels, and did not use any punctuation. Each of our personalized cartouches is handcrafted to order by skilled Egyptian artisans. Certain letters and symbols can be requested, but the final decision rests with the Egyptian artist. |
