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
Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife, fertility, and the Nile River, is depicted in this stunning polychrome limestone relief from the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahari in Egypt. Dating back to the New Kingdom, around 1490 BC during the Eighteenth Dynasty, this masterpiece of ancient art showcases Osiris in his full regalia, holding the symbols of his power and authority. Osiris is shown seated on a throne, his body adorned with the Atet crown, which represents the earth and the sky, and the Atef crown, symbolizing the union of Upper and Lower Egypt. In his hands, he holds the crook and flail, the symbols of kingship and agricultural abundance, respectively. The god is also depicted with the scepter and scourge, symbols of power and dominion. The relief is richly decorated with intricate hieroglyphics and hieratic texts, which convey the religious and mythological significance of Osiris. According to Egyptian mythology, Osiris was the first pharaoh and the father of the god Horus. He was known for his wisdom, justice, and benevolence, and was believed to have brought civilization to humanity. The use of polychromy, or the application of multiple colors, adds depth and dimension to the relief, creating a sense of perspective and bringing the image to life. The Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to the goddess Hatshepsut and the sun god Amun-Ra, is renowned for its impressive architecture and intricate decorative elements, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian history and culture. This relief is a testament to the artistic and religious traditions of ancient Egypt, providing a glimpse into the beliefs and values of a civilization that has captivated the world for thousands of years.
