- Keep. This is a faithful reproduction of an old, public domain, two-dimensional work. The original item was created about 800 years ago (11th-13th century), and is obviously no longer in copyright, and no new copyright can be attached to a faithful photographic reproduction of it.

- The photo's copyright, owned by IEA, CASS, is violated.-- Marcus Hsu talk 15:42, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Please read Copyright rules by subject matter, 2D art (paintings etc.), 2D copying, etc. for discussion of the copyright status of copies of 2D items such as books and paintings: "If the original artwork is old enough to be in the public domain it is OK to upload a scan or a photocopy (from any source) or a photograph you have taken yourself. A faithful photographic copy of a public domain 2D artwork such as a painting may always be uploaded to Commons, even if the photograph was taken by somebody else and even if no photographer's licence has been provided".

- However, please note that the object is a 3D artwork, not 2D. "If the 3D artwork is old enough to be in the public domain, you may upload a photograph you have taken yourself. If the photograph was taken by somebody else, you need the photographer’s permission, since the photograph is copyright-protected, despite depicting art that is not."-- Marcus Hsu talk 03:15, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- No, it is a two-dimensional artwork. At the microscopic level it may be three-dimensional, but from a copyright perspective a sheet of paper with writing or a design in ink or paint on it is considered to be two-dimensional. BabelStone (talk) 11:06, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, my bad. I originally thought it's an engraved stone tablet but now I am sure it's a woodblock printed.-- Marcus Hsu talk 06:03, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
