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 a remarkable artifact from the Seljuk period in 12th century Northwest Iran. The Bowl Griffin, originating from the Garrus district, is a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of that era. Made from earthenware and adorned with underglaze slip-painted decoration, this small yet intricate bowl measures approximately 6.6 x 16.7 cm (2 5/8 x 6 9/16 in. ). The focal point of this masterpiece is undoubtedly the majestic griffin depicted on its surface. With its powerful wings spread wide and fierce gaze fixed forward, the mythical creature exudes an aura of strength and grandeur. Its meticulously detailed feathers and sharp claws are brought to life through skillful brushwork. As we delve into the historical context surrounding this artifact, it becomes evident that it represents more than just artistic brilliance; it serves as a window into ancient civilizations' beliefs and cultural practices. The Seljuk period was characterized by rich artistic traditions influenced by both Islamic and Persian cultures. Preserved over centuries, this bowl offers us a glimpse into their sophisticated decorative arts scene during that time period. It stands as a tangible reminder of our shared human history—an object worthy of admiration for art enthusiasts, historians, and anyone captivated by the beauty found within ancient relics like these.
