Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Fingolfin's heraldic device
Author or copyright owner	J. R. R. Tolkien
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Hammond, Wayne G.; Scull, Christina. J. R. R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator. Houghton Mifflin. Immediate source: own scan from book
Date of publication	1995
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Fingolfin
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Illustrates Tolkien's distinctive visual approach to heraldry, with design formalised from a geometric sketch, by his own rules of heraldry.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	This is the only heraldic device Tolkien created for Fingolfin.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is at the usual poor resolution; it is used only here; and is the only Tolkien illustration in the article.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Since the image has been in print for a quarter of a century now, and even then constituted only a minor aspect of the book, it seems most unlikely.
