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 the sculpture of "Shiva as Dakshinamurti" from the late Chola period in southern India. Crafted from granite, this masterpiece is housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. The photograph, taken by Stefano Baldini, beautifully captures the intricate details and symbolism of this mythological figure. In this artwork, Shiva is depicted as Dakshinamurti, a form that represents knowledge and wisdom. Sitting on a symbolic seat or furniture, he exudes divine power with his majestic presence. Adorned with exquisite jewelry including earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, every aspect of his appearance reflects his status as a god in Hinduism. The sculpture also features fantastic creatures surrounding Shiva's body. These mythical beasts add an element of mystique to the artwork while symbolizing various aspects of Indian mythology. As we delve into the 13th-century creation through this photograph, we are transported to ancient times where art served not only as aesthetic beauty but also as a medium for religious expression and storytelling. Stefano Baldini's skillful photography allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and intricacy of this piece even from afar. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and space to connect us with different cultures and their rich histories.
