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
This print showcases the intricate and ancient "Paintings from the Tomb of Metjetji" located in Saqqara, Egypt. Dating back to the 6th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom (c. 2350-2200 BC), these painted stone masterpieces are a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egyptian civilization. The image captures a scene depicting various activities related to agriculture and hunting. In one panel, we witness force feeding geese, symbolizing their domestication for food production. Another panel portrays men skillfully catching birds, showcasing their prowess as hunters. One can also observe a figure known as the royal overseer of fields overseeing agricultural operations in another section. This individual played a crucial role in managing crop cultivation and ensuring an abundant harvest for the kingdom. Located at Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this remarkable artifact is part of Egypt's cultural legacy that has transcended time and borders. The vivid colors and meticulous details preserved on these ancient stones offer us a glimpse into everyday life during this bygone era. The tomb itself belongs to Metjetji, whose resting place lies within Saqqara - an archaeological site renowned for its numerous pyramids and tombs. Its historical significance makes it an invaluable source for researchers studying ancient Egyptian society. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this extraordinary piece of artistry through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot physically visit it ourselves.
