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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Osiride pillar of Pharaoh Sesostris I, a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt's Middle Kingdom and the second ruler of the 12th Dynasty. Dated between 1956 and 1910 BC, this limestone sculpture is now displayed at the Luxor Museum in Egypt. The pillar portrays Sesostris I in an Osirian form, symbolizing his divine connection to the god Osiris, the god of the afterlife, fertility, and the Nile. The king is depicted with a false beard, signifying his divine nature and maturity, and his arms are crossed in front of his chest, holding the symbolic Ankh, the key of life, and the crux ansata, the symbol of royal power and the god Horus. The shape of the pillar is reminiscent of a palm tree trunk, representing the pharaoh's power over nature and the fertility of the land. The pillar is richly decorated with polychromy, a technique used to add color to the sculpture, enhancing its visual appeal and symbolic meaning. The intricate details of the carving, such as the hieroglyphic inscriptions, further emphasize the significance of this piece as a symbol of the pharaoh's power and connection to the gods. Sesostris I was known as Kheperkare Senwosret, meaning "Perfect is the Reneming of Osiris, Senwosret," reflecting his belief in the continuity of the divine kingship and his connection to the god Osiris. This Osiride pillar is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Egypt during the Middle Kingdom period and continues to captivate and inspire scholars and visitors alike.
