Carve like an Egyptian

Definitely has the look of an artifact. Are you sure you didn’t find this thing in an Egyptian pyramid?

Great! Do the hieroglyphs have an specific meaning. I know people can buy a cartouche that is supposed to translate to the equivalent if their name…

it’s a wonderful conversation piece.
I’d love to have something like this “hidden” in my gardens for passersby to find.

I, too, wondered how the message translated.

I’m not real sure, but it would be a real letdown to discover it says something like….”Ninety days, same as cash”. Lol

I can only identify three heiroglyphs in the image, but Miles, do you know the meaning of the cartouche you carved?

I didn’t know mahogany would turn that silver color. Neat project.

Pretty cool, nonetheless!

I like it! Very interesting – just make up a wild story about finding it in an Egyptian tomb and people will believe it :-)).

I think this is a pretty neat piece. It has to be a great conversation starter.

Very unique!

This project just popped up in the shuffle, & I’m glad it did. At first look, I thought it was made of stone.
