Description
New Kingdom, Ca. 1279 - 1212 BC .
An Egyptian bronze plaque probably from a vase with an inscription of the cartouche of Ramesses II.

These names were written in hieroglyphic script, which consisted of a combination of pictorial symbols and phonetic signs. The cartouche functioned as a visual marker, emphasising the significance and divine authority of the individual whose name it contained. For similar see: MET Museum Accession Number: 10.130.1012.
