On
the Origins of the Cartouche and Encircling Symbolism in Old Kingdom Pyramids
by David Ian Lightbody. 2020. ISBN 9781789696578. £25.00. (eBook ISBN

Paperback; 203x276mm; 100pp; 47 figures (17 colour pages)
This study suggests the development of the cartouche was closely related

a new iconographic symbol, the pharaoh sought to elevate his status above that
of the members of his powerful court.
