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
This print captures the essence of tradition and spirituality in the Dogon village of Songho, located in the enchanting Dogon Country of Mali, West Africa. The image showcases a beautifully decorated escarpment adorned with intricate magic symbols that hold great significance to the local community. Every year, this sacred site serves as a gathering place for an important ritual - the circumcision of boys. As one gazes upon these mesmerizing mural paintings, it becomes evident that they are not merely decorative but rather carry deep religious meaning. Each symbol represents a connection to ancient animist beliefs and acts as a conduit between earthly existence and spiritual realms. The artist behind this remarkable photograph is Mauricio Abreu, who skillfully captured the rich cultural heritage present in this remote corner of Western Africa. The vibrant colors and detailed drawings on display here transport viewers into a world where traditions have been preserved for generations. As we contemplate this image, we are reminded of the power held within symbols and rituals. It serves as a testament to humanity's innate desire to connect with something greater than ourselves - be it through religion or other forms of spirituality. Mali's Bandiagara Escarpment is truly an awe-inspiring travel destination that offers visitors an opportunity to witness firsthand the beauty and depth of African traditions. This print by MA from Discover Images by AWL allows us to embark on our own journey into sub-Saharan culture without leaving our homes.
