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 "A Hamar woman in the village square of Dimeka" we are transported to the heart of Ethiopia's Omo Valley. The image showcases a remarkable display of cultural identity and marital status within the indigenous Hamar community. Standing confidently in the village square, a married Hamar woman proudly adorns herself with two heavy steel necklaces. These necklaces symbolize her commitment to marriage and signify her role as a wife. However, what sets this particular woman apart is an additional necklace featuring a steel phallic symbol. This unique ornament serves as an unmistakable marker identifying her as a first wife among multiple spouses. Beyond her striking jewelry, our attention is drawn to the intricate braided fringe mat that frames her face – an elaborate hairstyle worn by many women within the Hamar tribe. Her long hair cascades down gracefully, emphasizing both beauty and tradition. This powerful portrait not only captures the aesthetic allure of African heritage but also offers insight into their customs and beliefs surrounding fertility and matrimonial unions. Through JWL's lens, we gain access to a world where symbolism intertwines with personal expression, celebrating individuality within communal bonds. Discover Images by AWL invites us on an enlightening visual journey through diverse cultures worldwide, shedding light on humanity's rich tapestry while honoring its subjects' dignity and uniqueness.
