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
1. Title: South Metope XXXI: A Glimpse into Ancient Greek Mythology and the Battle between Centaurs and Lapiths South Metope XXXI, a captivating marble panel from the Parthenon friezes, is housed in the British Museum in London, United Kingdom. Dating back to the 5th century BC, this ancient Greek artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Athens and the Mediterranean region. The metope, a decorated panel located between the triglyphs in the Parthenon's Doric frieze, portrays a scene from Greek mythology. The battle between the Centaurs and Lapiths is depicted, with each figure meticulously carved in the classical style. Centaurs, half-human, half-animal beings, are shown in conflict with the Lapiths, a tribe of ancient Greeks. The Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, was erected on the Acropolis of Athens during the height of the Athenian empire. The metopes, along with the friezes, were part of the temple's decoration. However, the Elgin Marbles, of which South Metope XXXI is a part, were removed from the Parthenon in the early 19th century and taken to Britain. This metope is a significant historical relic, providing a glimpse into the mythological past of ancient Greece. The intricate details of the human and animal figures, their expressions, and the dynamic poses, reveal the advanced artistic skills of the ancient Greeks. The metope's style, reminiscent of the Parthenon's overall design, is a reflection of the period's aesthetic sensibilities. The South Metope XXXI, with its mythological narrative and exquisite craftsmanship, continues to captivate visitors at the British Museum, offering a window into the ancient world and its enduring artistic legacy.
