Destination write-up
Here’s the write-up that features on your print.
Rising abruptly from the plains of Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle, Sigiriya commands the horizon like a citadel from legend. This ancient rock fortress, carved from a solitary granite outcrop, invites you to climb through centuries of history toward the sky.
Ascend past the giant lion's paws that guard the final stairway, remnants of the colossal gate that once framed the summit approach. Pause at the Mirror Wall, its polished plaster still bearing verses left by travellers long ago, and glimpse the Sigiriya damsels, frescoes whose colours have defied the ages. At the summit, the ruined palace of King Kasyapa surveys the jungle below, while the water gardens at the base reveal a masterwork of ancient engineering.
Beyond the rock, the region unfolds in green terraces and forest reserves. Nearby Dambulla's cave temples glow with gilded Buddhas, and the waters of Minneriya draw herds of wild elephants at dusk. Share a plate of rice and curry in a village nearby, and watch the fortress catch the last light of evening.
Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
