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: Head of an Ibex from the Sacred Barque of Dynasty 21, Egypt (1070-946 BC) This exquisite bronze head of an ibex, adorned with gold, is a testament to the artistic prowess of ancient Egypt during the Third Intermediate Period, specifically Dynasty 21 (1070-946 BC). Discovered in Egypt, this sculpture now resides in the esteemed Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany. The ibex, a wild goat species native to the Middle East and Europe, was considered a sacred animal in ancient Egyptian culture. Its image was often associated with the god Thoth, the god of wisdom, knowledge, and the moon. The ibex was also believed to represent the divine power of the pharaoh, as it was associated with the sun god, Ra. This head of an ibex is part of a larger sacred barque, a boat used in religious rituals to transport the gods during processions. The intricately detailed head showcases the animal's powerful, alert expression, with its large, curved horns adorned with gold. The bronze material, combined with the gold accents, would have given the head a striking, shimmering appearance. The Third Intermediate Period, a time of political instability and cultural development, saw the emergence of various regional dynasties in Egypt. Despite the political turmoil, the arts continued to flourish, as evidenced by this magnificent bronze ibex head. Its preservation and display in the Neues Museum is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt and the enduring allure of its history.
