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 Kassite Dynasty artifact, known as the Eanna-shum-iddina kudurru, dates back to the period between 1125 and 1100 B.C. Discovered in Mesopotamia, now modern-day Iraq, this ancient document is currently housed in the British Museum, London, United Kingdom. The kudurru, a type of boundary stone, bears witness to a land grant made by Governor Eanna-shum-iddina to Gula-Eresh. The grant is inscribed in cuneiform script, an ancient writing system used in the Middle East, and is surrounded by intricate relief carvings. At the top of the kudurru, various gods are depicted in horned headdresses, including Marduk, the chief god of Babylon, and Ishtar, the goddess of love and war. The zodiac signs, represented by eight-pointed stars, encircle the gods, symbolizing the celestial order and divine protection over the land grant. The inscription at the bottom of the kudurru, penned by Amurru-Bel-Zeri, the surveyor, records the details of the land grant, including its size, location, and the names of the parties involved. The document's preservation is a testament to the advanced legal systems and administrative capabilities of the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations. The Eanna-shum-iddina kudurru is a remarkable artifact that offers a glimpse into the history, culture, and religious practices of the Kassite Dynasty. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to the rich collection of Mesopotamian art and archaeology.
