FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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 red-figure Attic Lekythos, dating from the first half of the 5th century B.C., is a testament to the artistic prowess of ancient Greek civilization. Discovered in the Province of Korinthia, in the region of the Peloponnese, Greece, this masterpiece is now housed in the Corinth Museum. The Lekythos is a type of ancient Greek ceramic vessel used primarily for holding oil for the dead, and was often decorated with intricate designs. This particular piece showcases a woman in dynamic movement, her body twisting and turning as if in the throes of a dance. Her flowing robes are expertly rendered in black and red hues, with the red figures standing out against the dark background. The woman's figure is adorned with wings, suggesting that she may be a representation of a winged goddess or a deceased woman granted the ability to fly to the afterlife. The intricate details of her hair, jewelry, and the folds of her garments are all meticulously depicted, showcasing the artist's skill and mastery of the red-figure technique. This Lekythos not only provides a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of ancient Greek culture but also offers a glimpse into their beliefs about the afterlife. The moving figure of the woman, with her graceful form and flowing robes, adds a sense of energy and vitality to an otherwise solemn vessel. The intricate decoration and attention to detail make this a truly remarkable piece of European history and a must-see for anyone with an interest in ancient art and civilization.
