Dead Follow Gates Panther Pass Priest Pylons Skin
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 image from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to ancient Egypt, where we witness Ani and his beloved wife, accompanied by a priest, making their way through the hallowed halls of the afterlife. The scene is taken from the Twelfth Chapter of the Book of the Dead, a sacred text that guided the deceased on their journey to the afterlife. Ani, the ancient Egyptian man depicted here, is shown dressed in the traditional white linen garments of the deceased. His wife, adorned in jewelry and a beautiful headdress, walks at his side, her hand resting gently on his shoulder for support and companionship in the afterlife. The priest, clad in a ceremonial linen kilt and wearing a nemes headdress, leads the way, his arms outstretched to ward off any potential dangers. Behind the trio, we see the Seven Gates and Ten Pylons, symbolizing the various challenges and obstacles that Ani and his wife must pass to reach the afterlife. The gates are guarded by fearsome creatures, including serpents and lions, which the couple must navigate with the help of the priest and the protective spells inscribed in the Book of the Dead. The priest, who wears a panther skin, represents the goddess Bastet, the goddess of home, fertility, and protection. The panther skin symbolizes her power and strength, and the couple's wearing of the skin is believed to provide them with her protection during their journey through the afterlife. This powerful and evocative image offers a glimpse into the rich history and religious practices of ancient Egypt, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of this fascinating civilization.
