23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
In this evocative photograph, an Ethiopian Orthodox priest, possibly from the ancient city of Axum (Aksum), stands before a stone obelisk, a symbol of the rich historical and cultural heritage of Ethiopia. Dressed in traditional robes adorned with intricate gold embroidery, the priest holds a long staff topped with a cross, signifying his spiritual authority and connection to the Christian faith. The priest's parasol, held aloft by an assistant, shields him from the sun as he reads from a large, ornate Bible. The Bible, a sacred text in Christianity, is a testament to the deep-rooted traditions and unwavering commitment to the faith that has endured in Ethiopia for over a thousand years. The priest's expression is serene and contemplative, as if in deep communion with the divine. The whisk, or fan, in his other hand, is a symbol of his office and a reminder of the importance of hospitality and respect in Ethiopian culture. The setting, with its rugged terrain and ancient obelisk, underscores the historical significance of the region and the enduring traditions of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The cross, a universal symbol of Christianity, stands out against the blue sky, a reminder of the shared beliefs and values that connect people of all walks of life across the globe. This image captures the essence of the Ethiopian Orthodox faith, with its deep roots in history, rich traditions, and unwavering commitment to the teachings of Christianity. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of the Ethiopian people, who have preserved their unique cultural heritage in the face of adversity and change.
