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.

1. Title: "A Regal Offering: Pharaoh's Devotion to the Gods - A New Empire Relief from the Temple of Luxor, Egypt" This relief, hailing from the New Empire period of Ancient Egypt, showcases a Pharaoh in an act of pious devotion, presenting offerings to the divine beings of his civilization. The intricately sculpted scene unfolds at the Temple of Luxor, a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of this ancient civilization. The Pharaoh, adorned in the regal attire of the New Kingdom, stands with a reverent expression, his hands outstretched in an offering gesture. The hieroglyphics inscribed on the relief reveal the identity of the Pharaoh as well as the gods to whom he pays homage. The gods, depicted in their respective animal forms, are shown graciously accepting the offerings, which include fruits and other provisions. The relief's hieratic writing and hieroglyphics, which were the primary means of communication in ancient Egypt, add an essential layer of historical context to the scene. The perspective employed in the relief, with the Pharaoh and gods depicted in three-quarter view, enhances the sense of depth and realism. This relief serves as a poignant reminder of the deep-rooted religious beliefs and the artistic prowess of the ancient Egyptians. It is a window into their history, offering a glimpse into their daily lives, their connection to the divine, and their enduring legacy. The relief's intricate details and historical significance make it an invaluable treasure, not only for Egyptology enthusiasts but for anyone interested in the history and art of ancient civilizations. This masterpiece, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, transporting them to a world of ancient wisdom and wonder.
