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.

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 Alabaster panel, dating back to the 8th century BC, showcases the powerful and majestic King Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria. The intricately carved and decorated relief, now housed in the British Museum in London, United Kingdom, portrays the monarch in his chariot, shielded by an umbrella, as he triumphantly leads his army in the capture of the city of Astartu. The scene is further embellished with a cuneiform inscription that chronicles the campaigns of this formidable ruler, providing a historical account of his military exploits. King Tiglath-Pileser III, with his distinctive beard and regal attire, sits confidently in the chariot, holding the reins with a firm grip. His soldiers and servants, depicted in the background, pay homage to their king, while the horses, with their arched necks and alert expressions, pull the chariot forward. The panel's central focus is the king, emphasizing his importance and power. The intricate details of the relief, including the decorative bands and the individual soldiers and animals, highlight the advanced artistry of the Neo-Assyrian civilization. The panel's archaic style, with its angular forms and stylized figures, is characteristic of the Mesopotamian art of the time. The cuneiform inscription, written in the ancient scripture of Mesopotamia, further adds to the historical significance of the panel. It provides a firsthand account of the campaigns of King Tiglath-Pileser III, offering valuable insights into the military strategies and conquests of this ancient ruler. This Alabaster panel, with its intricate carvings, historical significance, and artistic merit, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Assyrian civilization and the enduring influence of ancient Mesopotamia.
