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 captures a profound moment in history, depicting "Mahavira Gives Away his Possessions" from a copy of the Kalpasutra dating back to 1480/90. The artwork, created during the 15th century, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Gujarat, India. In this close-up view, we are drawn into the intricate details and vibrant colors that adorn this miniature painting. The use of opaque watercolor gold and ink on paper brings an ethereal quality to the image. Shades of blue and red intermingle with golden accents, creating a visually striking composition. The central figure depicted is Mahavira, one of the most revered Tirthankaras (spiritual leaders) in Jainism. With great humility and devotion to his spiritual path, Mahavira renounces all material possessions before embarking on his journey towards enlightenment. This act symbolizes detachment from worldly desires and serves as an inspiration for followers seeking spiritual liberation. The calligraphy surrounding Mahavira's depiction adds another layer of beauty to this artwork. Each stroke carefully crafted by unknown hands tells a story that transcends time and connects us with ancient traditions. As we contemplate this mesmerizing piece at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to Asian arts, we are reminded of Asia's rich cultural tapestry and its enduring influence on art across continents. This photograph invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance as a testament to religious devotion and inner transformation.
