17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
This photograph showcases a collection of Fertility Idols, exquisite Ashanti art sculptures crafted from wood, housed within the hallowed halls of the Museum of African and Oceanic Arts in Paris, France. The Ashanti people, originating from Ghana in West Africa, are renowned for their intricate and symbolic artistry. These idols, standing upright and adorned with vibrant colors, represent the feminine and masculine deities believed to ensure fertility and prosperity among the Ashanti community. The vertical alignment and rounded shapes of these figures convey a sense of balance and harmony, while their free-standing nature suggests a deep connection to the natural world. The interior of the museum provides the perfect setting for these precious artifacts, allowing visitors to appreciate their intricate details and historical significance. The Ashanti Fertility Idols are more than just decorative objects; they serve as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs of the Ashanti people. Their presence in the Museum of African and Oceanic Arts in Paris not only showcases the diversity of global artistic traditions but also fosters a deeper understanding of the human experience across continents and centuries.
