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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
The Grimani Oinoche, a stunning bronze jug from the Peloponnesian region dating back to the middle of the 5th century BC, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic prowess of ancient Greek metalwork. Currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary, this oinochoe, or wine jug, is estimated to have been created around 460-450 BC. The exterior of the Grimani Oinoche is adorned with intricate decorative motifs, including a seated Silenus, a mythological half-human, half-animal figure, and a Siren, a seductive creature with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a bird or fish. The handle of the jug is shaped like a graceful horn, a common feature in ancient Greek pottery. The interior of the jug is equally impressive, with delicate swirling patterns and a smooth, polished finish. The rim of the jug is adorned with a series of raised ridges, which would have provided a firm grip for the user. The Grimani Oinoche is a prime example of the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. Its intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship reflect the rich mythological traditions and artistic innovations of the time. Today, it stands as a reminder of the enduring influence of ancient Greek culture on European art and history.
