17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 photo print, we are transported to the enchanting world of the Kwego tribe in Southern Ethiopia's Omo Valley. At the entrance of her humble hut, a Kwego woman is engrossed in grinding sorghum flour, showcasing the timeless traditions and daily rituals that define their way of life. The Kwego people, belonging to the Nilotic tribe, are semi-nomadic pastoralists who have thrived along the banks of the majestic Omo River for generations. Their resilience and deep connection with nature are evident as they harmoniously coexist with their surroundings. As our gaze falls upon this remarkable woman, her intricate necklaces catch our attention. Adorned with African jewelry crafted skillfully by hand, she proudly showcases her cultural heritage through these exquisite pieces. The vibrant colors and unique designs speak volumes about her identity and sense of belonging. Surrounded by gourds filled with maize and sorghum - staples in their diet - she diligently grinds away using ancient tools passed down from ancestors. This act not only sustains her family but also preserves age-old customs that have shaped their community for centuries. Through this powerful image captured by JWL from Discover Images by AWL, we gain a glimpse into an indigenous world where simplicity intertwines with profound wisdom. It serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of human existence found across Africa's diverse landscapes while honoring those who continue to safeguard ancestral knowledge amidst an ever-changing world.
