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
1. Title: Goddess of Fertility: A Revered Deity from Ancient Amantia, Epirus This sculpture portrays the Goddess of Fertility from Amantia, an ancient Greek polis situated in Epirus, Albania. Dating back to the 3rd-2nd centuries BC, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and the enduring influence of Greek mythology and religion. The Goddess, depicted in this sculpture, is believed to be Amantia's patron deity, who was revered for her role in ensuring the prosperity of crops and the fertility of the land. Her serene expression and voluptuous figure, adorned with intricate jewelry and draped in flowing robes, exude an aura of abundance and fecundity. The Goddess's pose, with her left hand resting on her swollen belly and her right hand extended in a gesture of blessing, further emphasizes her role as the giver of life. The intricate details of her garments, adorned with delicate folds and intricate patterns, reflect the skill and artistry of the ancient Greek sculptors. This sculpture, now housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Tirana, offers a glimpse into the religious practices and beliefs of the ancient Greeks, who sought the blessings of their gods and goddesses for a bountiful harvest and a prosperous community. The Goddess of Fertility from Amantia stands as a symbol of the enduring connection between the people and their land, and the divine forces that sustained them. The discovery and preservation of this sculpture, along with countless others, serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Epirus and the broader European context in which it is situated. The National Archaeological Museum in Tirana is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history, mythology, and art of ancient Greece and the broader ancient world.
