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
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, an elderly Tibetan Buddhist priest, clad in traditional maroon robes, sits cross-legged on a simple mat in a humble dwelling in Northern India. His weathered face, etched with the lines of time and the deep furrows of concentration, betrays his advanced age. In his hands, he holds a large wooden prayer wheel, its intricate designs and colorful strings of mantra beads a testament to the rich history and devotion of Tibetan Buddhism. The priest's gaze is fixed on the wheel, his eyes closed in deep meditation as he turns it slowly with one hand, reciting ancient prayers and mantras in a voice barely audible above the gentle hum of the wind outside. The other hand clutches a string of prayer beads, each bead a reminder of the countless hours he has spent in devotion and contemplation. Despite the harshness of his surroundings, the priest's serene expression and unwavering faith reveal a deep connection to the natural world and the spiritual traditions of his people. The stark, barren landscape of the Himalayas, with its towering mountains and vast expanses of snow and ice, forms a stark contrast to the warmth and comfort of the priest's simple dwelling. This image captures the essence of the Tibetan Buddhist way of life, a tradition that has endured for centuries in the face of adversity and hardship. The priest's unwavering dedication to his faith, and the timeless beauty of the Himalayan landscape, serve as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of spirituality and the human spirit.
