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 photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a statue of the Egyptian god Heryshaf, also known as Heru-Shefit or the Middle Egyptian Ram-God. Heryshaf is an intriguing deity with complex mythology, holding significance in ancient Egyptian religion as the Lord of Suten-Henen and the equivalent of the Greek Herakles. Heryshaf is often depicted as a ram-headed god, symbolizing strength, power, and fertility. His name, which translates to "He who is powerful in Suten-Henen," further emphasizes his role as a protector and provider. The god was believed to have the ability to control the Nile floods, ensuring the fertility of the land and the prosperity of its people. The statue in this photograph is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and artistic prowess of ancient Egyptian artisans. Heryshaf's ram-head is adorned with intricate details, and his body is covered in hieroglyphics, showcasing the richness of the Egyptian script. The god's muscles are defined, reflecting the connection between Heryshaf and Herakles, both known for their immense strength and heroic deeds. As a god of Middle Egypt, Heryshaf was particularly revered in the region of Busiris. His cult was widespread, and he was often depicted in various scenes, including hunting, wrestling, and performing miracles. The statue in this photograph may have originally stood in a temple or a private shrine, serving as a reminder of the god's power and protection.
