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
1. Title: "Reverence and Harmony: The Seated Figures of Hathor, Maat, and Nephthys in the Ptolemaic Temple of Deir el-Medina" The captivating image presents a glimpse into the rich and complex religious practices of the ancient Egyptian civilization during the Ptolemaic era. The photograph showcases the intricately decorated interior of the Temple of Hathor and Maat at Deir el-Medina, a site renowned for its exquisite polychrome reliefs. Three prominent deities are depicted in the image: Hathor, the goddess of love, music, and fertility; Maat, the goddess of truth, justice, and cosmic order; and Nephthys, the goddess of the dead and the wife of Set. Each deity is shown in a seated position, their serene expressions and regal headdresses exuding an aura of divine authority and tranquility. Hathor is adorned with the solar disc and cow horns, symbolizing her association with the sun and the Nile. Her left hand holds an ankh, the symbol of eternal life, while her right hand is raised in a gesture of protection. Maat is depicted with the feather of truth on her head and the scales of justice in her hands, emphasizing her role as the embodiment of truth and balance. Nephthys, wearing the distinctive White Crown, holds a scepter and ankh, symbolizing her power and her association with the afterlife. The temple's polychrome reliefs, a testament to the artistic prowess of the era, add depth and vibrancy to the image. The use of color and perspective in the reliefs creates a sense of harmony and reverence, transporting viewers back to the ancient world and its mythological beliefs. The Ptolemaic Temple of Hathor and Maat at Deir el-Medina stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Egyptian religion and art, offering a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of a civilization that continues to captivate and inspire.
