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 fragment of a Krater, dating back to the 1st century BC, showcases the captivating image of Artemis, the ancient Greek goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, and the moon. The marble sculpture, originally part of a larger vessel, was discovered in Italy and now resides at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Artemis is depicted with an ethereal grace, her youthful features accentuated by the delicate curves of her body. She carries a torch in her left hand, symbolizing her role as the Goddess of the Night and Darkness, while in her right hand, she holds a quiver filled with arrows, representing her dominion over the hunt. The pine tree behind her adds to the serene atmosphere of the scene, emphasizing the connection between Artemis and the natural world. The other women in the fragment cannot be positively identified, but they may represent various aspects of Artemis's mythology or simply be attendants to the goddess. This fragment is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome and Greece, which continues to captivate and inspire us in the present day. The intricate details of the sculpture reveal the advanced artistic techniques of the time, showcasing the sophistication and beauty of ancient civilization.
