Angola Angolan Atlantic Carved Hollowed Luanda Trunk
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 stunning print captures the beauty and craftsmanship of a traditional boat off the coast of Luanda, Angola. Carved entirely from a single tree trunk, this vessel represents centuries of African maritime history and ingenuity.
The intricate details of the carved hull and mast showcase the skill and artistry of Angolan craftsmen who have been creating these boats for generations. The smooth curves and hollowed-out interior demonstrate a deep connection to both the natural world and the sea that has sustained communities in this region for centuries.
As it sails gracefully on the Atlantic Ocean, this traditional boat serves as a reminder of Angola's rich cultural heritage and its enduring ties to the water. The contrast between the rustic wooden vessel and the vast expanse of ocean creates a sense of timelessness, transporting viewers back to an era when such boats were essential for trade, fishing, and exploration along Africa's coastlines.
Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or simply appreciate its aesthetic beauty, this print is sure to evoke a sense of wonder and admiration for traditional craftsmanship in Angola. It is a testament to human creativity and resilience in harnessing nature's resources to navigate the open seas.
