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 showcases an Egyptian coffin from the Third Intermediate Period, dating back to approximately 1050 BC. Crafted meticulously out of wood, this ornate coffin is adorned with intricate ritual scenes that offer a glimpse into ancient Egyptian beliefs and customs surrounding death and the afterlife. The unidentified individual for whom this coffin was created remains shrouded in mystery, their name lost to time. However, the exquisite decorative elements on this artifact speak volumes about their status and importance within society during that era. Every inch of the coffin's surface is covered in symbolic imagery: from delicate wings representing the journey of the soul to a scarab beetle symbolizing rebirth and transformation. The headdress adorning the figure depicted on top adds an air of regality and spirituality. Displayed at the prestigious British Museum in London, UK, this remarkable piece hails from Thebes – a city renowned for its rich history and connection to ancient Egyptian civilization. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when rituals surrounding death were intricately woven into every aspect of life. This image serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mortality and our eternal quest for understanding what lies beyond.
