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. 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three revered deities of ancient Egyptian civilization: the goddess Isis, represented by a granite statue from the Villa Palombara 1, and two unidentified deities, one from the Kircherian Museum and the other from the Temple of Canopus in Tivoli. The intricately detailed engraving, a copperplate creation by Pietro Ruga, is based on an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani from his comprehensive work, '100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans.' Isis, the goddess of motherhood, magic, and fertility, is depicted with her characteristic throne on her head, adorned with the horns of a cow and the solar disc between them. She holds her traditional symbols, the Ankh and the scepter, while a snake coils around her body. The other two deities are less defined, but their regal bearing and elaborate headdresses suggest their divine status. The print, a testament to the classical civilization of Egypt, Etruscan, Greek, and Roman influences, offers a glimpse into the rich mythology and religious practices of these ancient cultures. Pietro Ruga's meticulous engraving brings the grandeur and mystique of these deities to life, transporting us back in time to an era of awe-inspiring art and spiritual reverence.
