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 remarkable piece of ancient Greek art, the Panathenaic prize amphora with lid and figure of Athena. Created in 363-2 BC, this terracotta masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 89.5 cm and is currently housed in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. The amphora was specifically crafted for the Panathenaia festival, a grand event held every four years in Athens to honor the goddess Athena. These narrow-necked vessels were awarded as prizes for various competitions such as athletics and music. The inscriptions on this particular amphora read "NIKODEMOS EPOIESEN" (Nikodemos made it) and "TON ATHENETHEN ATHLON" ([Prize] of the Athenian Games). Attributed to the painter of the wedding procession, its exquisite decoration depicts Nike crowning the victor of a boxing match on one side. The attention to detail is evident throughout, showcasing intricate black-figure painting techniques that bring life to each stroke. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this artifact offers us a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and their reverence for both athletic prowess and their beloved goddess Athena. It serves as a testament to human creativity across time, reminding us of our enduring fascination with beauty and competition.
