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.

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, dating back to the 13th century and originating from the Ramesseum in Thebes, Egypt, showcases a Pharaoh making offerings to the god Ra during the New Kingdom's Nineteenth Dynasty. The Pharaoh, depicted with a strong and regal posture, is shown presenting various offerings to Ra, who is represented as a falcon-headed deity with outstretched wings. Ra, the ancient Egyptian sun god, was one of the most significant deities in Egyptian mythology and was believed to have the power to give life and to control the sun. The Pharaoh's role as the living embodiment of the god on earth made it his duty to make offerings to Ra to ensure the continuation of the sun's cycle and the prosperity of the empire. The intricate details of the relief, with its clear perspective and the Pharaoh's well-defined body, highlight the exceptional craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptian artisans. The relief's memorial and mortuary function underscores the importance of religion in ancient Egyptian society and the belief in the afterlife. This magnificent work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and the enduring fascination with its mythology and history.
