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.

This image depicts a significant moment in the ancient Egyptian New Kingdom's Twentieth Dynasty, during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses III (1186-1155 BC). The Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu, located in Thebes, is the backdrop for this intriguing scene. Intricately carved into the temple's polychrome relief, officials are meticulously counting the severed hands of enemies killed in action.

The hieroglyphic inscriptions surrounding the scene further enhance its historical significance. The hieroglyphs describe the military campaign, detailing the names of the enemy lands and their leaders, as well as the triumphant victories of Ramses III's forces.
