This pendant is designed in the shape of an Egyptian cartouche, inspired by the motifs used in ancient Egypt to frame royal names. It is made of yellow gold, with hieroglyphs in rose gold relief, a two-tone technique achieved by juxtaposing different alloys. This subtle contrast highlights the symbols and enhances the decorative effect.

The rectangular plate with rounded ends is framed by a light molded border, and topped with a fixed bail element of a triangular shape, wide enough to accommodate a classic chain or cord. The lower end of the plate is decorated with a twisted motif stylizing the terminal knot found in ancient cartouches.

The hieroglyphs do not correspond to a historical pharaonic cartouche but are a free decorative interpretation, frequent in 20th-century tourist or symbolic jewelry. The piece reflects a taste for Egyptomania references, very present in jewelry since the rediscovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, with a renewed interest in the 1970s–1980s.

The pendant is likely a modern mass-produced item, using casting and mechanical assembly techniques. The entire piece has a polished surface, enhanced by the matte reliefs of the hieroglyphic symbols.
