FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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 stunning 5th century B.C. Parian marble statue, titled "Statue of Victory (Nike)," is a breathtaking example of ancient Greek art, currently housed in the Archaeological Museum of Olympia in Greece. The statue, attributed to the renowned Greek sculptor Paeonius of Mende, captures the essence of victory personified as the goddess Nike. Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, is depicted in mid-flight, her wings outstretched, symbolizing the swift and triumphant arrival of victory. Her chiton, a short-sleeved tunic, is draped elegantly over her body, revealing the intricate folds and textures of the Parian marble. The goddess wears a himation, a long, draped cloak, which billows behind her, adding to the sense of motion and dynamic energy. The statue's detailed and intricate peplos, a type of draped garment, is expertly rendered, revealing the skill and mastery of Paeonius. The goddess's hairstyle, adorned with a diadem and veil, is typical of the 5th century B.C. and adds to the historical authenticity of the piece. This statue, discovered in Naupactus, Messenia, is a testament to the artistic achievements of ancient Greece during the Classical period. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the statue are a reminder of the enduring influence of Greek mythology and the rich history of ancient Greece.
