Overview

The ancient Egyptian Brazier hieroglyph is Gardiner sign listed no. Q7 for the cooking brazier. It is shown from the Old Kingdom in the style of a vertical burning flame upon four feet, but the hieroglyph has the flame hiding the fourth foot. Another Gardiner unlisted form has the four feet, with no flame, and in a plan view. The brazier hieroglyph is used in Egyptian hieroglyphs as a determinative for the 'brazier', or 'flame', or words related to 'cooking with a brazier', or a substitute. The brazier also has the Egyptian language value of 'kh-('ḫ).
