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.

The focal point of the image is a magnificent statue of Buddha standing on a lotus plinth, depicted in a blessing posture. This ancient and historic landmark holds immense cultural and religious significance as it represents the rich heritage of Buddhism in this region. The intricate carving on the granite sculpture highlights the skilled craftsmanship of ancient times, while its vibrant color adds to its visual appeal. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gal Vihara stands as a testament to Sri Lanka's archaeological treasures and attracts travelers from around the world seeking spiritual enlightenment and historical insights. The photograph captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of tranquility that resonates with Buddhist teachings. With folded arms and an expression radiating peace, Buddha symbolizes wisdom, compassion, and inner harmony.
