FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. 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 photograph showcases a stunning collection of ancient Egyptian scarabs, on display at the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Scarabs, symbolic representations of the dung beetle, hold deep significance in Egyptian mythology and culture. The Egyptians believed that the scarab beetle was a symbol of the sun god, Ra, and played a crucial role in the creation myth. Scarabs were often used as amulets or seals, inscribed with hieroglyphics, to ensure the protection of the deceased in the afterlife. The age of these exquisite artifacts transports us back to the rich history and grandeur of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The intricate details on each scarab, from the meticulously carved hieroglyphics to the lifelike depictions of the beetle, are a testament to the Egyptians' mastery of art and craftsmanship. The interior of the museum provides the perfect setting for these precious relics, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the mythological and religious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. The scarabs, grouped together in this photograph, offer a glimpse into the depth and complexity of the Egyptian empire's history and the enduring influence of its mythology. This photograph is a reminder of the intriguing connection between the mythological and the historical, as well as the importance of preserving and showcasing the world's cultural heritage. The scarabs, with their symbolic meaning and beautiful design, continue to captivate and inspire us, even after thousands of years.
