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 hand-coloured print on paper, titled "One of the Twelve Devas: Katen" is a captivating representation from 14th-century Japan. Created by an unknown artist during the Nanbokuchō period, this artwork showcases the rich heritage and religious significance of Buddhism in Japanese culture. The portrait features a fierce-looking male figure with a long white beard and bare feet, embodying the essence of Katen, one of the Twelve Devas. The vibrant flames surrounding him symbolize his role as a guardian against evil forces. With its meticulous details and use of brown and white colours, this painting evokes both power and serenity. Hanging gracefully as a scroll at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Chester, Cheshire, England, this piece serves as a testament to cross-cultural influences throughout history. Its presence invites viewers to contemplate spirituality and explore Buddhist concepts within their own lives. As we admire this remarkable image captured centuries ago, we are reminded that art transcends time and space. It connects us to our past while inspiring contemplation about our present beliefs and values. This hand-coloured print stands as an invaluable treasure within The Metropolitan Museum's collection – an exquisite glimpse into ancient Japanese artistry that continues to captivate audiences today.
