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
This image is a fragment of the renowned East Frieze of the Parthenon, a masterpiece of ancient Greek art that dates back to the 5th century BC. The Parthenon, located in Athens, Greece, is a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, but this section of the frieze depicts a scene from the mythology of Zeus and Hera. Zeus, the king of the gods, is depicted seated on a stool, wearing a draped himation and holding a scepter. His wife, Hera, is also seated next to him, wearing a elegant peplos and holding a distaff and spindle, symbols of her role as the goddess of marriage and childbirth. Between them stands a man, possibly an archon or basileus, who is receiving the folded peplos from a young boy. This scene represents the annual ritual of the Panathenaia festival, where a new peplos was woven for Athena and then presented to her in a grand procession. This fragment is now housed in the British Museum in London, England, where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate the intricate details and historical significance of ancient Greek art. The East Frieze is renowned for its lifelike depictions of humans and gods, and this scene is no exception, showcasing the skill and artistry of the ancient Greek sculptors. The girls in the background, dressed in Ionic chitons and himations, add to the vibrant and dynamic composition of this ancient masterpiece.
