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 close-up image showcases the intricately carved head portion of a Sarcophagus Cover from Ancient Egypt's Late Period (724-333 BCE). The unknown creator masterfully hand-carved this wooden accessory, which once adorned a sarcophagus, during either the 4th or 8th century BC. The sarcophagus, a funerary furnishing of great importance in Ancient Egyptian culture, was designed to protect and preserve the deceased's body and ensure a successful transition into the afterlife. The head portion is a stunning example of the high level of craftsmanship and artistic skill that characterized Ancient Egyptian art. The man's features are depicted in great detail, with a serene expression and closed eyes, suggesting a peaceful and dignified representation of the deceased. His hands are crossed over his chest, a common pose in Egyptian burial customs. The carving is richly colored and intricately detailed, with delicate lines and precise incisions. This head portion is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is admired by visitors from around the world as an important heritage art object. The sarcophagus cover provides a glimpse into the ancient Egyptian belief system and their unique approach to death and burial practices. Its intricate design and beautiful craftsmanship continue to captivate and inspire art lovers and scholars alike.
