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.

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.

1. Title: Mycenaean Art: A Female Figure with Ritual Gesture and Necklace This print showcases an exquisite Mycenaean artifact from the ancient civilization of Mycenae in Greece. Dated back to the Late Bronze Age, around 1600-1500 BCE, this ceramic statuette is currently housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. The figure depicted in the sculpture is a woman, her age and exact identity unknown. However, her posture and the ritualistic gesture she makes with her right hand suggest that she may have been a priestess or a goddess, playing a significant role in Mycenaean religious practices. The woman's graceful form is adorned with intricate jewelry, including a stunning necklace, emphasizing her importance and wealth. Mycenaean art is renowned for its distinctive style and craftsmanship. This statuette exemplifies the period's artistic achievements, with its smooth, well-proportioned figure and intricate details, such as the delicately modeled necklace and the expressive facial features. The woman's serene expression and poised stance convey a sense of dignity and reverence, further emphasizing her religious role. The National Archaeological Museum in Athens is home to an extensive collection of Mycenaean artifacts, providing valuable insights into the history and culture of one of the earliest civilizations in Europe. This female figure with a ritual gesture and necklace is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Mycenaean civilization and its enduring influence on Greek art and culture.
