17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 statue, titled Kurlil, hails from the Early Dynastic Period of Mesopotamia, around 2500 BC. Discovered next to the Temple of Ninhursag in Tell al-Ubaid, Southern Iraq, this ancient masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the British Museum in London, England, United Kingdom. The Sumerian civilization, one of the world's earliest urban civilizations, thrived in Mesopotamia during this era. Kurlil's statue is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of this city-state civilization. Carved from stone, this antique artifact showcases the intricate details of the man's attire and facial features, reflecting the advanced skills of the Mesopotamian artisans. The statue stands as a stele, an upright slab or pillar with inscriptions or relief carvings. Kurlil is depicted with a serious expression, his hands resting on his hips, exuding an air of authority. The statue's intricate carvings include a robe adorned with intricate patterns, a headdress, and a scepter in his right hand. Ninhursag, the goddess of fertility, was the patron deity of Tell al-Ubaid. The statue of Kurlil was likely placed near her temple as an offering or tribute. The historical significance of this statue lies not only in its artistic value but also in its role as a connection to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Mesopotamian civilization. The Early Dynastic Period marked a pivotal moment in human history, as the first urban civilizations emerged, and the first written records were created. The discovery and preservation of artifacts like Kurlil provide invaluable insights into the lives of our ancient ancestors and their remarkable achievements.
