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 stunning polychrome relief depicts the ancient Egyptian deity Ra, the sun god, taken from the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari in Egypt. Dating back to the Eighteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom, during the 18th century, this artwork showcases the rich history and mythology of ancient Egypt. Ra is depicted as a falcon-headed divinity, with his wings spread out, symbolizing the sun's rays. The sun disk, another symbol of Ra, is shown on his head, emphasizing his role as the god of the sun. The relief is a testament to the Egyptians' deep reverence for their deities and their belief in the sun's power as a source of life and renewal. The Temple of Hatshepsut, built during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, is renowned for its unique architectural style and intricate decorative elements. The temple complex is located in the desert, overlooking the Nile Valley, and is dedicated to the god Amun-Ra. The relief of Ra is a significant example of the temple's polychromy, which adds depth and vibrancy to the otherwise monochromatic sandstone walls. The use of perspective in the relief is noteworthy, as it creates a sense of three-dimensionality and depth, further enhancing the artwork's visual impact. The relief's intricate details and vivid colors are a testament to the skill and artistry of the ancient Egyptian craftsmen, whose work continues to captivate and inspire us today.
