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
The Metternich Stela, a magnificent example of Egyptian art from the Late Empire period, is dated between 360 and 342 BC, during the reign of Nectanebo II of the 30th Dynasty. Housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, United States, this masterpiece is carved from meta greywacke, a dark, dense metamorphic rock. The stela showcases a complex composition, with various mythological figures and deities. At the center, the god Horus, represented by the falcon head, holds the goddess Isis, who is depicted as a throne-sitting queen, wearing a throne-like headdress. The god Bes, a protective deity, stands guard at the bottom, while an ibis-headed god, possibly Thoth, holds an offering table on the left. The upper part of the stela is adorned with hieroglyphic writing, which records a magical spell. The magical power of the text is believed to have protected the deceased, ensuring their safe passage to the afterlife. The lower part of the stela features a scene of a lion and an antelope, symbolizing the triumph of the god over chaos and the forces of nature. The intricately carved hieroglyphs and figures on the Metternich Stela demonstrate the advanced artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Egypt during the Late Empire period. The stela's preservation and display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art allow modern viewers to appreciate the rich history and mythology of this ancient civilization.
