Overall: Thank you for a fascinating article. I'm so glad that the authorities were able to rescue the artefact.
Just the QPQ to complete now.
Also the hook is slightly long at 201 characters. I suggest changing "discovered" to "found"?
When that is done, this nom should be good to go.
Just one suggestion, which does not affect the nomination. It is usually unwise to fix the size of an article image, bearing in mind that many editors have chosen a particular image-size in their preferences, to fit their devices - but that choice only works for them on thumbnails. So I would suggest reverting your infobox image to a thumbnail. But that is up to you.
Note: I have copyedited the article, because there were so many ce issues that it would have taken too long to explain them all to you. (That copyedit does not affect the nom., and it has not affected content.) Storye book (talk) 13:13, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Ceoil, for sorting out the image issue, and for shortening the hook. For future reference, please create a new ALT for the corrected hook, even if the change is minor, so that other editors can see where we are. Just waiting for the QPQ now. Cheers.

Update. There have been issues with your QPQ, although as far as I can see you have resolved them. Next time, to avoid hassle, I suggest the following: 1. Use the reviewer's template, as a checklist of reviewer's duties. 2. If you are reviewing, list issues in the review; don't edit the article beyond basic copyediting (typos, punctuation etc) i.e. don't change content, otherwise you may count as a co-editor and disqualify your review. 3. Don't overwrite hooks unless your change is very minor, e.g. wikifying (bold, "pictured" etc.). 4. If you want to change the content of a hook, however minor, write a new ALT and request that someone else reviews it. Hope that helps. Storye book (talk) 11:04, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
