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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

Mshatta Palace: A Glimpse into the Grandeur of the Umayyad Dynasty The intricately decorated facade of Mshatta Palace, an 8th-century Umayyad architectural masterpiece located near Amman, Jordan, is a captivating testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Islamic Middle Ages. This detail image, now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, showcases the magnificent animal motifs, grapevine tendrils, and geometric patterns that adorned the palace's exterior walls. Mshatta Palace, built during the reign of Umayyad Caliph Walid II, is considered one of the most significant Islamic architectural sites in the Middle East. The palace's unique decorative elements, including animal figures, intertwined vines, and intricate mouldings, reflect the fusion of various artistic influences from the Sassanian, Byzantine, and Roman worlds. The detail in this image reveals the fantastic animal frames, which were once part of the palace's entrance, and the intricate vine motifs that adorned the walls. The animals, depicted with an almost playful energy, are thought to represent lions, griffins, and other mythical creatures. The grapevine tendrils, with their delicate leaves and clusters of grapes, add a natural element to the otherwise ornate design. The Mshatta Palace detail image, now a cherished component of the Pergamon Museum's collection, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of the Umayyad court during the winter seasons of the medieval period. The intricate decorative elements of the palace's facade continue to fascinate scholars, art historians, and visitors alike, providing a window into the rich history of Islamic art and architecture.
