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: "A Dionysiac Mask in Marble: Ancient Splendor from Ephesus, Hungarian Museum of Fine Arts" This evocative image showcases a magnificent marble fountain pipe, intricately carved with the enigmatic visage of a Dionysiac mask. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this ancient artifact hails from the revered ancient city of Ephesus, now located in modern-day Turkey. The mask is currently housed in the esteemed Hungarian Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary. Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and revelry, is the central figure depicted in this masterpiece. The mask's expressive features, with its wide-open eyes, upturned nose, and smiling mouth, exude an air of merriment and ecstasy. The intricate details of the mask's curly hair, adorned with ivy and grapes, further emphasize the connection to Dionysian mythology. The mask's role as a pipe for a marble fountain adds an additional layer of significance to this ancient work of art. Water would have flowed through the mask, symbolizing the life-giving force of Dionysus and the abundant blessings of the vine. This magnificent piece serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece and the Roman civilization that followed. The intricate carvings and the masterful craftsmanship of the marble fountain pipe evoke a sense of awe and admiration for the artistic achievements of the past. The mask's enduring presence in the Hungarian Museum of Fine Arts allows us to appreciate the beauty and history of this ancient artifact and the mythological tales it represents.
