Tablet of Shamash

I've provided the image that you were after - see Wikipedia:GLAM/BM/Photos requested#Tablet of Shamash. Prioryman (talk) 00:43, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your superb images!

	The Photographer's Barnstar
	Each and every one of your photographs is an invaluable contribution to Wikipedia. Thank you for your great photographs Zunkir! पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 15:57, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zunkir! Thank you for your superb photographs!! Since you seem to have many images from the British Museum, let me try a few... Would you have a better image of the macehead of Shu-turul in the Akkadian display case , Room 56. Would you have the macehead of Shar-Kali-Sharri, also in the Akkadian display case ? (I am ashamed I only have this one: , besides century-old black and white images). Would you by any chance have a good photograph of the bowl of Meskiagnun (, a better image), located in Room 52 (Ancient Iran), display case 1 (, bowl fragment visible in the bottom left corner) at the British Museum? (I know this one is a very hard one...). Thank you again, and best regards! पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 15:57, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much Zunkir, your images are great!! One more inquiry then: would you happen to have better images of the following, also in Room 56 of the British Museum?: the tablet of Lugal-kisal-si

in display case 3

, the vase of Gishakidu

also in the same display case, the gold foil of A-Imdugud

in this display case

. On another plane, I also have an enquiry about the Louvre Museum: the Stele of the Vultures (particularly the relief with the Phalanx) seems to have been heavily damaged sometime between 1969 and 2005 (before-after:

). Would you by any chance know what happened? Best regards पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 05:24, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thank you! It seems that the "Stele of the Vultures" damage is actually a case of "de-restoration" (removal of early 20th century restoration layer). When looking closer at the photograph, it is true that the "broken" portions in 2005 do tend to appear as lighter patches in the 1969 photograph.
