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 piece of history, the Bronze Age arrowhead J930088. Discovered at Irthlingborough and meticulously examined by the Ancient Monuments Laboratory, this artifact offers a glimpse into an era long past. Crafted in the Early Bronze Age Conygar Hill style, this barbed and tanged arrowhead is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of our ancestors.
The intricate design of this weapon reflects both its functionality and aesthetic appeal. The carefully crafted barbs on either side served to increase its effectiveness when hunting or engaging in warfare during ancient times.

This photograph serves as a reminder that our present is built upon countless layers of human achievement throughout history. It encourages us to reflect on how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
