Original – Phaistos Disc as displayed at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, side A (top), side B (bottom)

Set – Side A

Set – Side B

Reason: A well preserved artifact from the Minoan civilization. The civilization flourished in the 2nd millennium BC on the island of Crete. This disc is 6 inches in diameter. It was discovered in 1908 and is housed at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The inscribed characters remain undeciphered. See the articles for details. The backgrounds in the images are somewhat distracting, but the photos are sharp and detailed where it counts.

Comment Perhaps this image would be better if it was split into two separate images? You could then nominate it as a set of featured pictures. Ideally a single picture should not be a gallery in my opinion. – Howard🌽33 20:11, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's easy to split it into two. Consider it done, once the Set gets sufficient support votes. I added the Set to the nom as a voting option (~~as temporary 'CSS image crops' for now~~). I updated my vote. As far as your argument, it's a judgement call. There are many composite FPs [1][2][3][4], on the other hand there are many set FPs [5][6]. The nom item being a 6 inch disc, I thought it's appropriate to have a composite, as in a coin [7]. I go with the consensus either way. Bammesk (talk) 21:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Set I believe in the composite FPs, such as coins, the background is the same between both images. Whereas in this image, they are clearly two separate backgrounds. Howard🌽33 14:31, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support original or set. No need to split, the originals are here: File:Δίσκος της Φαιστού πλευρά Α 6380.JPG, File:Δίσκος της Φαιστού πλευρά B 6381.JPG. MER-C 07:54, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support set but it'd be nice to, y'know, actually have the set as files. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.6% of all FPs.} 16:49, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done, uploaded the side A and side B images, and removed the CSS image crops. Bammesk (talk) 18:06, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
