Review (criteria)	Comment I would like to support. I assume the name of the artist(s) is not known, but do we know approximately when the work was done? If so, please add that information to each in this series of nominations. I could surely ask this of you in French, too, but it's late and it would take longer. Just ask, though, and I'll be glad to explain in French tomorrow if that would help. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:11, 17 January 2021 (UTC).  Comment These wooden sculptures are dated to the 14th century and have been recognized by UNESCO as the best and most detailed fabrications in the world. They are the work of a team of craftsmen led by the master craftsman Delmada Mulacari, under the authority of King Wickramabahu lll in the ancient kingdom of Gampola (1357-1374 AD), best regards--Pierre André (talk) 15:26, 17 January 2021 (UTC)  Support Useful, but please add that information to your file descriptions (it's totally fine to add it in French; I or someone else could add an English translation later). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:08, 17 January 2021 (UTC)  Comment Another helpful thing to do after this nomination passes is change the filename to be more instructive in the way that your filename for the Gajah Singa carving is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:13, 17 January 2021 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
