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: The Revered Guardian: Statue of God Sebiumeker from Meroe, Sudan, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, Denmark The Statue of God Sebiumeker, a revered deity in ancient Nubian mythology, is a remarkable sandstone sculpture dating back to the 1st century BC. Discovered in Meroe, Sudan, this artifact now resides in the esteemed Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. The statue portrays Sebiumeker, the Meroitic god believed to be a guardian of the kingdom and a false god, with an imposing presence. He is depicted as a bearded man, barefooted, and clad in traditional Egyptian-influenced clothing. The intricate relief carvings on the statue reveal his divine attributes, including the solar disc and uraeus snake on his head, symbolizing his connection to the sun and the Nile. As a guardian deity, Sebiumeker was believed to protect the Meroitic people and their kingdom. His image was often displayed in temples and royal palaces as a symbol of power and prosperity. The statue's discovery in Meroe, an ancient Nubian city, provides valuable insights into the rich cultural exchange between Egypt and Nubia during the ancient age. The Statue of God Sebiumeker is a testament to the artistic and religious traditions of the ancient Nubians. Its intricate details and powerful presence continue to captivate visitors to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, offering a glimpse into the mythology and history of this fascinating civilization. The statue's journey from Meroe to Copenhagen is a reminder of the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations and the importance of preserving and studying their art and cultural heritage. Today, the Statue of God Sebiumeker stands as a symbol of the interconnectedness of human history and the shared human experience.
