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 bronze figure represents Maitreya, also known as Mile or the Buddha of the Future, dating between the 4th and 5th centuries. The exact origin of this artwork is unknown, but it is believed to have been produced during the Northern Wei Dynasty or the Six Dynasties period in China or Asia. Maitreya is depicted as a bodhisattva or bosatsu, a being who has achieved enlightenment but has chosen to postpone entering Nirvana in order to help others reach enlightenment. He is often shown with a serene expression and a gesture of giving or teaching. This sculpture is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Buddhism and its influence on art across continents. The figure is cast in bronze using a mold or mould, showcasing the intricate details of Maitreya's robes, facial features, and posture. The use of bronze adds to the durability and longevity of the artwork, allowing it to survive through the centuries. This Maitreya figurine is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States. The museum's extensive art exhibitions and educational programs provide opportunities for visitors to explore and learn about the history and significance of art from various cultures and time periods, including this ancient Buddhist sculpture.
