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 relief depicts the ancient Egyptian deity Hapy, who was revered as the god of the Nile flood and fertility. The image, carved in hieratic style, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt and its enduring mythology. Hapy is depicted as a paunchy man with sagging breasts and palm leaves, symbolizing the abundance and nourishment brought by the flooding Nile. The relief is a remarkable example of the Egyptian civilization's deep connection to their natural environment and their belief in the divine power that governed it. The relief is located in the Temple of Luxor, one of the most famous and well-preserved ancient Egyptian temples. Luxor Temple, dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in ancient history and civilization. The temple's intricate carvings, columns, and statues provide a unique perspective into the religious beliefs and artistic sensibilities of the ancient Egyptians. The relief's age is estimated to be over 3,000 years old, making it an invaluable historical artifact that offers insights into the daily life, mythology, and artistic traditions of ancient Egypt. The hieratic style of the relief, characterized by its simplified and stylized forms, is a reflection of the artistic evolution that took place during the New Kingdom period (1550-1077 BC). The relief's intricate details and vibrant colors have been preserved over millennia, making it a fascinating and captivating reminder of Egypt's rich cultural heritage.
