[edit] Rationale for fair use in Hercules' Club (amulet)

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Hercules' Club (amulet)" : To illustrate the subject in question Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]), qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights. To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

This picture is being used in Wikipedia's article Hercules' Club (amulet)

Academic fair use is claimed,

• It is a low resolution image;
• It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to the original academic publication in any way

Further, the use of the image is fair because it is not being used merely to decorate the related article, but rather:

• Represents a notable object related to the article topic.

It is unclear whether the image falls under US copyright. The above rationale applies only provided it is indeed protected by copyright. The photograph may also be a reproduction of an earlier publication, in which case the image is in the public domain also in the US.
