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 exquisite wooden sculpture depicts Phagpa Lokeshvara, a form of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, revered in Tibetan Buddhism for his compassion and ability to hear the cries of the suffering. The statue dates back to the 13th-14th century and is a copy of the original housed in the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. The intricately carved woodwork showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the artist, with delicate floral and geometric patterns adorning the figure's robes and the base. The statue is further enhanced by the application of gold and paint, adding depth and vibrancy to the piece. Phagpa Lokeshvara is depicted in the traditional seated position with his right hand in the gesture of giving and his left hand in the gesture of receiving, symbolizing his readiness to give and receive the teachings of Buddha. His serene expression and gentle gaze convey a sense of peace and tranquility, making this sculpture a powerful representation of the compassionate nature of Avalokiteshvara. This sculpture is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Tibet and the enduring influence of Buddhism on the region's culture. It is a rare and precious example of the intricate woodcarving techniques that were used during the 13th and 14th centuries in Tibet. The statue is now part of the South Asian collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
