17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print showcases the meticulous reconstruction of the face of the Ice Maiden, a remarkable archaeological discovery from the Altai Mountains. The Ice Maiden, also known as the Pazyryk Ice Maiden or Ukok Body, is a frozen body that was found in 1993 by archaeologists and has since become an invaluable source for anthropology and paleontology. The image captures the expertise and dedication of scientists in piecing together this ancient puzzle. Through careful examination of skeletal remains and utilizing cutting-edge technology, anthropologists have been able to reconstruct her facial features with astonishing accuracy. This process not only sheds light on her physical appearance but also provides insights into her cultural background and way of life. The significance of this reconstruction extends beyond mere curiosity; it offers valuable information about our human ancestors who lived thousands of years ago. By studying these hominid fossils, researchers can better understand our evolutionary history and how different populations interacted in ancient times. As we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful portrait, we are reminded of the delicate balance between science and artistry required to bring history back to life. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our insatiable thirst for knowledge about our past.
