Talk:Spartan ivory plaque with ship

Source 📝

360:... but I can't seem to find any common name for this object, so something like "Ivory plaque depicting a ship (NAMA ####)" might be best (where #### is whatever its National Archaeological Museum inventory number is - Pridemore doesn't give it).The other references on the wiki page are all taken over from the Pridemoore article. The relevant page numbers are: Casson p. 50-53 , Dawkins 1929, pp. 203-215, Morrison & Williams, p. 83. The original publication is in Dawkins "Excavations at Sparta, 1907" BSA 13 (1906-1907) 1-136, but Pridemore doesn't give a page reference. 82: 64: 33: 262: 244: 180: 162: 92: 272: 413:, and doesn't discuss any specific objects, but rather broad classes of object; adding 250 words on a single specific object would significantly skew the coverage. For all of the problems with having bitty little articles on individual objects, I don't see in this case that a merger doesn't create more problems than it solves. 483:
really unbalance an article that's about 2,400 words long, excluding references etc? To put it another way, if everything was already in the votive objects section there, would we think the sanctuary article improved by moving the plaque content to its own article, or would we see that as diminishing
356:
Agreed that it looks very strange (Might it be a student assignment?). Concerning that it has apparently been around for so long! The existence of the Pridemore article/note and the various sources it cites make it likely that the item is notable. According to that piece it is "by far" the largest
392:
I agree that the topic appears to be notable. Lots of individual archaeological artefacts are, even ones which like this are sufficiently obscure that they don't really have a common name. I agree that the current article name isn't great, and think Johnbod's suggestion of
516:
I think it does make sense as a separate article - Morrison & Williams' piece (and Pridemore's) supports the claim that it's an important object for naval historians, not just for people interested in the Orthia sanctuary. It also appears in Hampe and Simon 1980
525:(1969), but I cannot find the page. Since it doesn't seem to have a standard name, I think the two neutral suggestions: "Spartan ivory plaque with ship" and "Artemis Orthia Sanctuary naval plaque" are good. The former seems slightly preferable. 397:
would be an improvement. An alternative would be to use whatever the NAMA catalogue number is, which has the disadvantage of being obscure to lay readers, but the advantage of unambiguously identifying what we're talking about to

If you would like to join the WikiProject or learn how to contribute, please see our 581: 449:, because the object seems strongly associated with the sanctuary, so it's probably better to add it in the title. We can perhaps add the NAMA number too. 576: 138: 357:
ivory item found in the sanctuary of Orthia and is important as an early Greek depiction of a sea-going vessel. Commons has an image of the object here

the significance of the sanctuary and prefer keep its finest item? Also, at first glance, the Sanctuary article much more clearly passes the generic
463:"ship" is better than "naval", but neither is good for searching. Absent similar objects with articles, we should not put the number in the title. 144: 337:
The title of this article is weird and should be changed, but I don't know how. I'm not even sure it's notable enough; it could be merged into
294: 586: 543:
Ok, I'll let this run for a day or two, then move it. Actually I'll copy all this to the article page - all further comments there please.

would be better - it was the only one found at the site. It could be merged - there's a section on votive offerings.
480: 410: 402: 338: 488:
test by having a number of sources specifically focused on the subject, while the plaque only seems to have one.
