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.

Khusraw Celebrating after Killing the Dragon
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning page from a 17th century manuscript of the Khamsa, a collection of poetic stories by the Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi. The image depicts the moment of triumph for Khusraw, the monarch of Iran and the hero of this particular tale. With an opaque watercolor ink on paper, the unknown artist masterfully brings to life the scene of Khusraw's victory over a mythical beast - a dragon. The king, dressed in royal robes and wearing a crown, is shown standing on the back of the slain dragon. His victorious expression is etched on his face as he raises his arms in celebration. The dragon, with its menacing features and sharp claws, lies beneath him, defeated. The scene is further adorned with the depiction of five treasures - Panj Ganj - that the dragon had guarded, now scattered around the victorious monarch. The background of the scene is filled with a floral and flowered design, adding a touch of beauty and tranquility to the otherwise violent and triumphant moment. The presence of both men and women in the crowd, cheering and celebrating, further emphasizes the significance of the event. This image, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East, is a beautiful example of Islamic art from the Safavid Empire. It is a reminder of the mythological tales and heroic figures that have shaped the history and literature of Iran and the Middle East. The page is now a part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection and continues to inspire awe and wonder among art and literature enthusiasts.
