New enough, long enough. Hook checks out and is referenced in citation. Picture looks fine to use. Offline references accepted in good faith. Would comment that the Parrot refs seem to state the obvious (ie, missing arm, excavated by Parrot, etc...) but generally I'm happy with the article though it could probably benefit from a tiny more interpretation to show why it is a significant work of art (I agree it is, though others may query this.) which is why my tick isn't green.

Expanded slightly per the reviewer. Thanks for the tick! Yazan (talk) 17:54, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely fine to go following slight expansion to show significance of subject! Mabalu (talk) 17:56, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
