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, sourced from the revered Karnak Temple Complex in Egypt, showcases the sacred animal of the goddess Unut - a graceful hare. Dating back to the New Kingdom era of ancient Egyptian civilization, this exquisitely sculpted frieze is a testament to the rich mythological beliefs and artistic prowess of this remarkable empire. The hare, symbolically linked to the goddess Unut, who was also known as Wenet or Wenut, was considered a sacred mammal in Egyptian mythology. Unut was the goddess of the desert, the mother of the gods, and the protector of the pharaoh. The hare was believed to be her sacred animal, and its image was often depicted in hieroglyphs and hieratic script as a symbol of fertility, rebirth, and renewal. This relief, with its intricate details and lifelike representation of the hare, is a captivating example of the ancient Egyptian artistry. The Karnak Temple Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to numerous such masterpieces, each with its unique story to tell. The relief's age and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to any collection, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian civilization.
