7th Century British Museum Incense Incense Burner Maya Mayan White Background Mike Dixon
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print showcases a remarkable Mayan pottery incense burner in the shape of a man's head, complete with ear-plugs. Dating back to the 7th century and originating from Honduras, this exquisite artifact is now part of the esteemed British Museum collection. The image captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of this ancient homeware item against a clean white background. The craftsmanship evident in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Delicate carvings bring out every feature of the man's face, while his expressive eyes seem to hold secrets from centuries past. The inclusion of ear-plugs adds an intriguing element, hinting at cultural practices or symbolism that may have been significant to the Maya people. As we gaze upon this studio shot, we are transported back in time to an era when such objects held great importance in daily life rituals. This incense burner would have played a vital role during religious ceremonies or perhaps even served as a decorative centerpiece within households. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, who skillfully captured its essence through their lens, we can now appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic beauty. This image serves as a window into our shared human heritage and reminds us of the rich cultural legacy left behind by civilizations long gone.
