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.

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 a stunning Plaque from a Reliquary Shrine, dating back to around 1170. Crafted with intricate detail and precision, this gilded copper masterpiece is adorned with champleve and cloisonne enamel, creating a mesmerizing display of color and texture. Measuring at approximately 2.70 cm in height and 3.70 cm in width, this Romanesque relic can be found at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Its historical significance lies in its connection to some of Cologne's most revered reliquary shrines: the shrine of the Three Kings at Cologne Cathedral and the shrines of Saints Maurinus and Albinus in the Benedictine abbey church of Saint Panteleon. The delicate enameling on these decorative plaques (including others numbered 1953.274,1953.638,1957.502, and 1961.27) reflects German craftsmanship at its finest during the twelfth century. The plaque's design features intricate patterns inspired by Christian symbolism prevalent during that era. Purchased from the J. H Wade Fund by the Cleveland Museum of Art for preservation purposes, this photograph captures every exquisite detail without copyright restrictions or commercial use limitations. Immerse yourself in history as you explore this religious artifact hailing from Germany's Rhine Valley region—a testament to medieval artistry that continues to inspire awe even today.
