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 print showcases the Osiride pillar of Pharaoh Sesostris I, also known as Senusret I or Jeperkara Senusret, from the Middle Kingdom's 12th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Dated between 1956 and 1910 BC, this limestone sculpture is currently housed at the Luxor Museum in Egypt. Sesostris I is depicted in this Osirian form, paying homage to the ancient Egyptian god Osiris, symbolizing his divine connection and rule. The pharaoh is shown with a false beard, signifying his royal status and maturity, and his arms are crossed in front of his chest, holding the symbols of power and life: the ankh and the crux ansata, or key of life. The polychromy, or use of multiple colors, adds a striking and vibrant contrast to the pillar, enhancing the intricate details of the sculpture. The pharaoh's face displays a serene expression, showcasing the wisdom and strength of his reign during the Middle Egyptian Empire. The Nile River, the source of life and prosperity in ancient Egypt, is often depicted flowing at the base of the pillar, symbolizing the pharaoh's connection to the land and its people. The Osiride pillar of Pharaoh Sesostris I is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of ancient Egypt, providing a glimpse into the beliefs, values, and power of its rulers during the Middle Kingdom era.
