31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 an exquisite owl figurine with a hieroglyphic inscription on the inner wall of the coffin belonging to steward Seni, from El Bersha, Egypt. Dating back to approximately 2000 BC during the Middle Kingdom period, this artifact is part of the Coffin texts that were believed to assist the deceased in their journey through the Underworld. The close-up shot beautifully captures every intricate detail of this ancient Egyptian treasure. The bird's brown plumage stands out against a backdrop of vibrant colors, highlighting its significance as a symbol of wisdom and protection in Egyptian culture. Displayed at the British Museum, this historic piece offers us a glimpse into ancient Egypt's rich heritage and beliefs surrounding death and afterlife. The hieroglyphics adorning the coffin provide valuable insights into Seni's role as both Steward and Chief Physician during his lifetime. Photographed by CM Dixon in stunning clarity, this image transports viewers back thousands of years to a time when these artifacts held immense spiritual importance. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites contemplation about life's mysteries that transcend time itself.
