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.

1. Title: "A Grand Display of History and Power: The 17th Century Stone Relief of Riga's Great Coat-of-Arms" This stunning 17th-century stone relief, showcasing Riga's great coat-of-arms, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Latvia's oldest city. The intricately carved artwork, currently housed in Riga's Museum of History and Navigation, is a masterpiece of Baroque art that transports us back to an era of opulence and grandeur. The relief, created during the second half of the 17th century, is a visual representation of Riga's coat-of-arms, which has remained unchanged since its granting by King Magnus Eriksson of Sweden in 1382. The design features a golden shield adorned with three black keys, symbolizing the city's founding by Bishop Albert of Buxhoeveden, and a red cross, representing Riga's membership in the Hanseatic League. The relief's polychromy, or use of multiple colors, adds depth and dimension to the artwork, enhancing its visual appeal and making it a standout piece in the museum's collection. The intricate details of the relief, from the delicate lines of the keys to the ornate borders, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown artist who created it. Riga's great coat-of-arms is not just a symbol of the city's history and heritage, but also a reminder of its resilience and strength. Throughout the centuries, Riga has weathered numerous invasions and occupations, yet its coat-of-arms remains a constant reminder of its rich past and the people who have shaped its destiny. Today, the stone relief serves as a source of inspiration and pride for the people of Riga and Latvia, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and richness of our past, this 17th-century stone relief is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Riga.
