Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	A Numenorean Tile such as might have been rescued from the wreck of Numenor by Elendil, painted by Tolkien
Author or copyright owner	J. R. R. Tolkien
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: The J. R. R. Tolkien Calendar 1974 Immediate source: https://www.slideshare.net/leonardorosati1675/pictures-by-jrr-tolkien
Date of publication	1974
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Tolkien's artwork
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Illustrate Tolkien's creation of symmetrical pattern-like artworks, able indeed to repeat, to support his Middle-earth mythology, in this case for The Silmarillion where the tile represents an artefact rescued from Numenor
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	All Tolkien's artwork is in copyright, but this particular image is discussed in the cited text in the article.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is the only one of Tolkien's tiles on Wikipedia, and it is used only in this one article. It is at much reduced resolution.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The image was published some 46 years ago, at much better resolution than is allowed here, so the publishers have had plenty of time to exploit the image, and it's already available on the Web and in printed form.
