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 Votive Figure hails from the 7th century, originating in Central Asia, specifically in what is now Afghanistan. The unknown creator masterfully carved this intricate work of art from terracotta, a type of clay that is fired at high temperatures to create a hard, durable material. The figure is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that was prevalent during this time. Central Asia, a vast and diverse region located between Europe and Asia, was a melting pot of cultures and influences during the 7th century. This votive figure, with its distinctive South Asian and Southeast Asian influences, is a prime example of the artistic fusion that took place during this period. The figure's relief carving is expertly executed, with intricate patterns and designs adorning its surface, adding to its visual appeal. The figure's vibrant colors and earthy tones bring it to life, transporting us back in time to the ancient civilizations that once thrived in this region. The figure's purpose is believed to be religious, making it a votive offering, a symbol of devotion and faith. Today, this precious artifact is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned cultural institution that preserves and showcases the world's artistic heritage. The Votive Figure is a reminder of the rich history and diverse artistic traditions that have shaped our world, and a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire and captivate us.
