Summary[edit]

Description A 19th-century tattooing pattern depicting pre-Islamic Arab hero and poet Antarah ibn Shaddad (right) fighting an enemy. The original uploader of this image on Flickr stated that it came from the Cairo Anthropological Museum. However, there is no such museum in Cairo. The uploader most likely intended to refer to the Ethnological Museum, which is affiliated with the Egyptian Geographic Society.

(Reusing this file)		 The original uploader on Flickr licensed his photograph as "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License" (CC-BY-NC-SA), which is a non-free unacceptable license on Commons. However, since the photograph is a faithful reproduction of an out-of-copyright two-dimensional work of art, it is not copyrightable, as explained in the license tag below.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain This work is considered part of national folklore in Egypt and is in the public domain as per Article 142 of Intellectual Property Law 82 of 2002. Article 138 of the same law defines national folklore as "any expression which consists of distinctive elements reflecting the traditional popular heritage, which originated or developed in Egypt, including in particular:
  • (a) Oral expressions such as folk tales, poetry and charades, and other folklore;
  • (b) Musical expressions such as popular songs accompanied by music;
  • (c) Motion expressions, such as popular dances, plays, artistic forms and rituals;
  • (d) Tangible expressions such as:
    • Products of popular plastic art, particularly drawings with lines and colors, engravings, sculpture, ceramics, pottery, woodwork and any inlaid designs, mosaics, metal or jewelry, hand-woven bags, needlework, textiles, carpets and clothes;
    • Musical instruments;
    • Architectural forms."



The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
