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 relief print showcases a pivotal moment in ancient Egyptian history, believed to depict Pharaoh Ramses II, ruler of the 19th Dynasty during the New Kingdom era (approximately 13th century BC). The Pharaoh is depicted in a grandiose manner, offering incense to the gods in a memorial or mortuary context. The scene unfolds at the Ramesseum, a grand temple complex located in the Necropolis of Thebes, specifically in the Valley of the Kings. Ramses II, known as the 'Great Ruler,' is one of Egypt's most celebrated pharaohs, renowned for his military conquests and architectural achievements. This relief offers a unique perspective into the religious practices of the ancient Egyptian civilization, where the pharaoh, as a divine being, was believed to communicate with the gods through offerings and rituals. The intricately carved relief, with its sharp lines and lifelike details, is a testament to the exceptional artistry and craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptian sculptors. The incense burners, held in the Pharaoh's hands, are filled with fragrant resins, symbolizing the connection between the physical world and the divine realm. This relief, a precious piece of our shared human heritage, offers a glimpse into the rich history and religious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. It stands as a reminder of the enduring influence of their culture and the captivating allure of their ancient civilization.
