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, hailing from the ancient Egyptian Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, showcases an intricate and mythological scene from the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom. The central focus of the composition is a solar disk, encircled by a cobra with its distinctive hood raised, and the ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life, suspended around its neck. Above the solar disk, a falcon with a double crown adorned with the symbol of the crux ansata, or the key of life, hovers. Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's most successful pharaohs, ruled during the 18th Dynasty and is believed to have commissioned this temple complex as a memorial to her reign. The relief is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of ancient Egypt, with its intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions and mythological symbols. The cobra, a powerful and ancient symbol of divine protection and rebirth, is depicted here as a guardian of the solar disk, a representation of the sun god, Ra. The falcon, a symbol of the pharaoh and the god Horus, is shown in his role as a protector and ruler. The double crown, a symbol of the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, further emphasizes the significance of this relief as a representation of the divine power and authority of the pharaoh. The intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions surrounding the scene provide additional context, revealing the names and titles of the deities and the pharaoh herself. This relief is a reminder of the rich history and mythology of ancient Egypt, a civilization that continues to captivate and inspire us to this day.
