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
Wat Chiang Man, the oldest temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand, is renowned for its unique and intricately decorated chedi, or stupa, adorned with a procession of majestic elephant statues. This photograph, taken in December 2012, showcases the harmonious blend of Thai culture, history, and religion at this sacred site. The Chedi at Wat Chiang Man is not only an architectural marvel but also a testament to the rich history of Buddhism in Thailand. The chedi, which houses sacred relics of the Buddha, is believed to have been built in the late 13th or early 14th century, making it one of the oldest temples in the city. The elephant statues that grace the chedi are a common motif in Thai temples, symbolizing strength, power, and good fortune. These magnificent creatures have held a significant place in Thai culture for centuries, representing the monarchy, royalty, and the natural world. The intricate details on the elephant statues, from their textured skin to their expressive eyes, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the Thai craftsmen who created them. The weathered stone and the moss-covered surfaces of the chedi add to its ancient charm, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a glimpse into the past. Wat Chiang Man's Chedi, with its elephant statues, is a symbol of the deep-rooted connection between Thai culture, history, and Buddhism. This photograph captures the essence of this spiritual and historical site, inviting us to reflect on the beauty and richness of Thai heritage.
