Nominated by	Mbz1 (talk) on 2010-04-15 05:57 (UTC)
Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Vandalic art
Used in	Global usage w:Vandals
Reason	IMO it is very interesting and educational image with high EV. I found it by a pure accident, and was rather surprised that Vandals not necessarily means vandals :) -- Mbz1 (talk)
Review (criteria)	Support 2 images in scope. The technique of crimping is more elaborate than stamping this necklace is the most sophisticated. Best in scope. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 12:27, 15 April 2010 (UTC)  Info I have formatted the scope to get rid of the Category: in the link. --Slaunger (talk) 18:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)  Question It is a beautiful necklace and a good photograph, but how can one see that it is art specific for the vandal tribe and not another tribe? It is not clear to me from skimming the article on en. --Slaunger (talk) 18:57, 15 April 2010 (UTC) A photograph was taken in museum. I assume the identification of the tribe, that made the necklace was made by scientists. --Mbz1 (talk) 20:36, 15 April 2010 (UTC) Well, yeah, and they may have deduced that it is Vandal when seen in context of the place it was found, and other items found there. My point is that the image itself should be Vandal-specific and I am wondering if it could be identified as such from the image alone (I do not know). Like could it be from a neighbouring tribe in the same time period, or from the same location only earlier or later than the Vandals? --Slaunger (talk) 20:46, 15 April 2010 (UTC) I am afraid I have no knowledge to answer your question. Sorry.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:37, 15 April 2010 (UTC) Understandable. I think I will just  Abstain as I do not feel qualified to review it. --Slaunger (talk) 19:44, 16 April 2010 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted. Ikar.us (talk) 14:27, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
