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 ancient sculpture depicts the Egyptian deity God Bes, a protector figure revered in Egyptian culture for over 2000 years. Dating back to the Late Period of Ancient Egypt, around 664-332 BC, this statue is a testament to the rich religious heritage of the Egyptian civilization. God Bes, represented as a dwarf-like figure with a large belly, a pot belly, and a menacing appearance, was believed to bring good fortune, protection, and fertility to households. He was often depicted with a crown adorned with the horns of a ram and carrying a scepter or a rattle. This exquisite sculpture, now housed in the National Archaeology Museum in Madrid, Spain, is a reminder of the artistic genius and intricate craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptians. The statue's detailed features, such as the wrinkled skin, the intricately carved facial hair, and the carefully crafted headdress, showcase the mastery of the ancient Egyptian artists. The statue's age and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to the museum's collection. The era of Ancient Egypt, with its complex religious beliefs, advanced civilization, and rich artistic heritage, continues to fascinate scholars and visitors alike. This statue of God Bes, with its unique combination of fearsome appearance and protective role, is a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of the ancient Egyptian culture on world history and art.
