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 cultural celebration in Kenya. In the frame, an old Pokot woman gracefully dances during an Atelo ceremony, showcasing her vibrant heritage. Adorned with a plethora of beaded jewelry, her attire is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Pokot tribe. The woman's braided hair is embellished with colorful beads and ornaments, while her neck is adorned with wide necklaces made from glass beads, cowrie shells, and metal beads. Brass earrings dangle elegantly from her ears as she moves to the rhythm of the music. A cow horn container hangs from her shoulder, traditionally used to store animal fat. It serves both practical and symbolic purposes within their pastoralist lifestyle. The container itself showcases intricate leatherwork and ostrich shell decorations. In one hand, she holds a fly whisk made from ostrich feathers - a symbol of prestige among African tribes. Her joyful expression reflects the deep connection between dance and spirituality within this ancient culture. This image transports us to East Africa's remote landscapes where traditions are cherished by communities like the Pokot tribe. Through this photograph by NP from Discover Images by AWL, we are reminded of the beauty found in preserving ancestral customs for generations to come.
