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 relief, dating back to the 19th Dynasty of Egypt's New Kingdom era, is a captivating depiction of ancient Egyptian altar offerings from the Karnak Temple Complex. The intricately sculpted scene showcases an array of symbolic items presented to the gods, including perfume bottles and papyrus flowers. The Egyptian civilization, renowned for its rich history and mythological beliefs, placed great importance on offerings as a means of appeasing their deities. Perfume, a luxury item in ancient Egypt, was believed to have mystical properties and was often used in religious rituals. The perfume bottles, adorned with elegant designs and intricate decorations, were an essential component of these offerings. The papyrus flowers, native to the Nile River region, were also held in high regard by the Egyptians. They symbolized the annual flooding of the Nile and the rebirth of life, making them a fitting offering for the gods. This relief, a frieze from the temple walls, provides a glimpse into the religious practices and mythology of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The Karnak Temple Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to numerous such reliefs and sculptures that offer valuable insights into the history and culture of this ancient empire. The intricate details and symbolism depicted in this relief are a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Egyptians during the New Kingdom age. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of this ancient civilization and the profound impact it continues to have on our understanding of human history.
