| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The photo taken by myself is intended to demonstrate three things.
1) A typical examples of decorated game ball and how they are displayed in the town of Ashbourne. 2) The three Cocks in the heraldic design that appear on the Cokayne coat of Arms common to these balls. This is to provide visual evidence regards a possible Norman connection with the sport. 3) An example of a ball without decoration. Other balls were deliberately left out of the photo. |
