Congo Cowrie Kongo Shell Chin Strap
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 photograph showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from the Congolese culture. The print features a stunning hat adorned with shells and bone, belonging to the Lega tribe's esteemed Bwami society. Standing at an impressive height of 26 cm, this headdress is a true testament to the intricate craftsmanship of African tribes. The hat's design is both decorative and ornate, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Lega people. A delicate chin strap adds an element of functionality while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. The use of cowrie shells as embellishments further enhances its beauty, symbolizing wealth and prosperity in many African cultures.
