23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

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
This image showcases a group of Keepers, or guardians, in the mortuary temple of Ramses III in Thebes, Egypt. Dating back to the New Kingdom and specifically the Twentieth Dynasty (approximately 1550-1069 BC), this architectural masterpiece is located in Medinet Habu. The intricately carved relief on the temple wall depicts these men, dressed in short kilts and wearing distinctive headdresses, standing guard. Their stern expressions and raised arms suggest a readiness to protect the temple and its treasures. Ramses III was one of the last great pharaohs of the New Kingdom, known for his military prowess and successful campaigns against foreign invaders. His mortuary temple, dedicated to the gods Amun-Ra, Ptah, and Montu, was built to ensure his eternal life and to commemorate his reign. The temple complex is renowned for its impressive size and intricate decorative elements, including this relief of the Keepers. The artistry and historical significance of this relief make it an invaluable piece of ancient Egyptian history. The Keepers, with their stoic poses and protective roles, serve as a reminder of the importance of security and order in ancient Egyptian society. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Egypt and the New Kingdom era, providing valuable insights into the beliefs, customs, and daily life of this fascinating civilization.
