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 stunning 16th-century wooden icon, depicting Christ in Majesty, is a breathtaking work of art from the iconostasis of the Church of St. Demetrius of Kola in Zante, Greece. The Byzantine Museum in Zante is home to this exquisite piece, which showcases the rich history and religious significance of the Ionian Islands. Christ is depicted as the ruling King of the Universe, seated on a magnificent throne. His aureole, or halo, radiates an aura of divine light, emphasizing his divine nature. The intricately painted details of his robes and the ornate throne are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Byzantine craftsmen who created this masterpiece. The open book in Christ's hands symbolizes the Gospel, emphasizing his role as the Word of God. The throne is adorned with intricate carvings and gold leaf, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Byzantine Empire. This icon is a prime example of the Byzantine artistic tradition, which flourished during the Middle Ages and continued to influence art and culture in the Eastern Orthodox world. The iconostasis, or icon screen, of the Church of St. Demetrius of Kola, of which this icon is a part, is a significant historical and artistic treasure, providing a glimpse into the religious and cultural heritage of Greece during the Byzantine period.
