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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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 stunning print showcases the Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu in Thebes, Egypt, during the New Kingdom's Twentieth Dynasty (approximately 1550-1069 BC). Ramses III, one of Egypt's greatest pharaohs, ruled during a time of political instability and external threats, and his temple at Medinet Habu reflects his efforts to secure his reign and maintain the legacy of the Egyptian Empire. The relief carving in this image depicts a vulture, a powerful and significant symbol in ancient Egyptian culture. Vultures were believed to be sacred birds, associated with the goddess Mut, the goddess of motherhood and childbirth, and the goddess Hathor, the goddess of love, fertility, and music. Vultures were also believed to protect the dead and guide the souls of the deceased to the afterlife. The vulture in this relief is sculpted with intricate detail, its wings spread wide and its head turned towards the viewer, as if in a protective stance. The hieroglyphic inscriptions surrounding the vulture are written in the ancient Egyptian language, which was used to record the pharaoh's accomplishments and religious beliefs. The hieroglyphs in this image include the symbols for Ramses III, the god Amun-Ra, and the god Ptah, all of whom were revered during the New Kingdom and played important roles in Egyptian mythology and religion. The Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and the enduring power of its symbolism and art. This print offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the history and traditions of one of the world's most fascinating civilizations.
