Wooden statuette of Nakht-ankh: fine-art print

Description

Back in the heady days of the ancient Egyptian 12th Dynasty, lived Nakht-ankh, priest and son of the governor, in the town of Shashotep in Middle Egypt.

When he finally departed this life, he was buried in a tomb along with his brother Khnum-nakht.

There they rested for several millennia, accompanied by a beautiful collection of model boats, servants, ceramics and statuettes, including this gorgeous statuette of the man himself.

They now have a new life at Manchester Museum, where they continue to live for millions of years, preserved and cared for, having their names spoken by those who may pass by them.

And now you can show off your Egyptology geekery by adorning your wall with this gorgeous photo.

Get yourself a piece of Tiny Egypt! The detail of the statuette featured in this photo is around 5 cm wide and is the flagship image for my Tiny Egypt project. It’s been photographed using a macro lens and carefully lit to bring out the detail and texture, and to help make the tiny Nakht-ankh colossal.

Prints are shipped globally, and shipping is free worldwide.*

Prints are available in three different sizes:

• 20 × 30 cm/8 × 12 in: similar in size to A4 paper, this is a great choice for smaller spaces or mantlepieces and shelves, and for those on a lower budget
• 41 × 61 cm/16 × 24 in: the perfect mid-range choice, for those with a little more budget or wall space
• 51 × 76 cm/20 × 30 in: a luxury choice for those who are looking for a statement piece for their wall and who like to invest in art

*Please note that if you order prints at the same time as other gifts, such as mugs or t-shirts, you’ll still be charged shipping for the other goods. This is because prints are fulfilled by theprintspace, so will be dispatched separately from other purchases.

About your print

Print details

Your photo will be printed on Hahnemühle Pearl fine-art giclée paper.

Hahnemühle Pearl has a smooth orange peel texture and a bright neutral white base. It creates vibrant colour reproduction and great detail. The paper is resin coated with a fibrous feel, with the satin finish of the coating giving depth to the image.

Your photo will be printed and fulfilled by theprintspace, an award-winning fine-art print house favoured by professional artists and photographers alike.

The print has a narrow, white border. Not only does this make handling the print easier (no fingerprints!), it also means you can get it framed and/or mounted without losing the edges of the photo.

The print has a life expectancy of around 80 years in average daylight conditions; however, where and how you keep your print affects this.

• Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight
• Avoid subjecting it to temperature and humidity fluctuations, e.g. above a radiator, next to a drafty window, or on outer walls
• If direct or bright sunlight is unavoidable, consider buying a frame with UV protective glass
• If you get your print mounted/matted, ask for 100% cotton fibre, acid-free unbuffered mount boards

Dispatch and delivery

Your print will be produced and dispatched by theprintespace in 2–5 working days.

Delivery to the UK and EU usually takes a few days; other countries can take up 5–10 working days. Please bear in mind that these are average times, and delivery during busy periods could take longer.

Once your print is with the delivery company, you should receive an email from them with tracking numbers and delivery information.

Returns policy

Please note that computer monitors and mobile devices can show colours in slightly different ways and intensities. If the colours in your print don’t look quite the same as how they look on your screen, this is why. However, if there’s an obvious problem with print quality – or your print arrives damaged – please let me know, along with some photos, so I can organise a replacement.

If delivery is significantly delayed (excluding longer delivery times during busy periods or times of strike action), please let me know so we can come up with a solution.

If, when you receive your print, you change your mind, you can return it within 14 days of delivery for a refund or store credit. Just drop me an email if this is the case. Please remember, however, that I am one person, and that I don’t have the financial cushion that large retailers do to be able to offset the cost of lots of returns. Thanks!
