23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Africa, Benin, Savalou. Sacrificing a goat to the Dankoli voodoo fetish" we are transported to the heart of West Africa's mystical traditions. The image captures a sacred moment as an individual performs a ritualistic sacrifice in honor of the Dankoli voodoo fetish. The scene is set outdoors, amidst nature's embrace, where devotees gather to pay homage and seek blessings from their ancestral spirits. With great reverence and solemnity, a goat stands at the center of attention. A knife glimmers in the sunlight as it is raised high above its head. This powerful act symbolizes an offering made by believers who place their faith in Vodun or Voodoo practices prevalent in Benin. As ancient customs intertwine with contemporary life, this photograph serves as a window into African spirituality that has endured for centuries. The atmosphere surrounding this ceremony feels both mysterious and awe-inspiring. Every detail seems carefully orchestrated - from the intricate patterns on ceremonial attire to the presence of an awl nearby – all contributing to the authenticity and significance of this ritual. Through Discover Images by AWL, we are granted access to moments like these that shed light on diverse cultures around our world. This particular print invites us into an intimate glimpse of Benin's spiritual heritage while reminding us of humanity's universal quest for connection with something greater than ourselves.
