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 print showcases a captivating detail from the Great Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel in Egypt, built during the 19th Dynasty of the New Kingdom around 13th century BC. The intricately sculpted relief depicts Pharaoh Ramses II presenting war prisoners to the god Amun, emphasizing his power and divine connection. The hieroglyphic inscriptions surrounding the scene are written in the ancient Egyptian script, a complex system of symbols and logograms that served as the primary means of communication for the civilization. The Great Temple at Abu Simbel is a remarkable architectural and artistic achievement, reflecting the grandeur and might of the Egyptian Empire during the New Kingdom period. The temple complex was carved out of the sandstone cliffs along the western bank of Lake Nasser and is renowned for its colossal statues of Ramses II and the gods. The intricate detail of this relief, with its hieroglyphic inscriptions, offers a glimpse into the mythological beliefs and religious practices of ancient Egypt. The scene of Ramses II offering war prisoners to Amun underscores the pharaoh's role as a divine ruler and military leader, demonstrating the deep connection between the Egyptian monarchy and the gods. This print is an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of ancient Egyptian culture and history.
