Needs a pic - Room 64: Early Egypt EA 35506. Thanks. Chasuble ( talk) 16:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
A photo with legible text is needed for the Vindolanda tablets. (Room 49: Roman Britain) ᛭ LokiClock ( talk) 05:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Done
A photo with legible text is needed for the Stowe manuscripts. Such photos are available from the British Library website, but are under copyright. I hoped there might be some in archive. ᛭ LokiClock ( talk) 05:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
You'll have to double check these are actually from the right sources as the image information is not clear cut. — Fæ ( talk) 12:26, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

The current image is of a similar chronometer rather than the actual artefact. An image of the real thing would be useful for the veracity of the page. Location: Room 39, Identification: CAI.1957 and/or L210 and Registration: 1958,1006.1957. Fæ ( talk) 12:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

This was one of the 100 Objects, located in Room 33 of the British Museum. See 1830,0612.4 . Based on the radio programme there may be mileage in an article about the statue and its history in addition to the general Tara (Buddhism) and the current redirect. Fæ ( talk) 10:20, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

The article on Hoa Hakananai'a refers to the carvings on his back, but only includes a frontal shot. rear photos and especially closeups of the symbols carved into the back and buttocks would be much appreciated. Until we had DNA evidence, the similarity between the tattoos recorded by Katherine Routledge in 1914/15 in the leper colony on Rapa Nui and the carvings on the backs of the statues was a major part of the evidence for cultural continuity between the statue carvers and the Polynesians living on the islands when Europeans first visited them. As this is one of the few Basalt statues its carvings have not been eroded away as most of the exposed statues have been, and it would be difficult to get such photos of the partially buried statues without repeating her excavations.

The new page on Hedwig glass, which is up to be on DYK, could really do with a photo - is there any chance anyone in London could nip into the BM a take a pic of the one on display there? (Room 34, Islamic World, ME OA 1959.4-14.1). Chasuble ( talk) 14:29, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
could use some photos too for his various bits and bobs. Room 62-63: Egyptian mummies EA 6677 outer coffin; inner coffin/mummy (can't see an acc no); EA 6679 mummy mask. Thanks Chasuble ( talk) 16:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Lalita (Parvati) with Ganesha and Skanda - Eastern India. 11th century. taken at the British Museum - Asian Gallery (33, 33a Room), to be used as a replacement for the adjacent image which is blurred. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 07:59, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

This - room 40, in a case by itself on the central axis of the room, near the room 36/stairway end I think. Ideally as many as possible, very close up, of the enamel scenes. Sizeable article in preparation, that can use as many as possible. Thanks! By the way, this room currently appears to have no photos at all on Commons, so anything else would be welcome.
