Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The photo taken by myself is intended to demonstrate three things.

1) A typical examples of decorated game ball and how they are displayed in the town of Ashbourne. 2) The three Cocks in the heraldic design that appear on the Cokayne coat of Arms common to these balls. This is to provide visual evidence regards a possible Norman connection with the sport. 3) An example of a ball without decoration. Other balls were deliberately left out of the photo.

Other information The author of the image has released the photographic work under a free license, or it is in the public domain: The balls are on display every year for anyone to photograph

It would be impossible to demonstrate the points I have raised without this photo. I could have taken three separate photos but this would not show the balls in context. I have also taken care to ensure no trade names from optics selling alcohol appear in the shot.
