A cartouche here means an oval plaque inscribed with a name (of a ruler or important person) in hieroglyphics.
We made cartouches for our names and either mounted them on our papyrus paper or drew the hieroglyphics straight onto the papyrus. Find out more about hieroglyphics and type your name in them at this link: http://www.childrensuniversity.manchester.ac.uk/interactives/history/egypt/hieroglyphs/
