... that the 4th century Brescia Casket (pictured) has been called "among the most formidable and enduring enigmas in the study of early Christian art"?

Just pending a QPQ review. Date and length are Ok. No website based copyvio [1]. AGF on offline sources and the hook source. The photograph has a release tag but appears to be a scan of a print or magazine photograph (jpeg scan artifact). It's of high enough resolution with no copyright marks and there is not a duplicate on Google Images. I have no reason not to believe the uploader had rights to the image.

Question: - I've only done one DYK before so forgive me for posting this here for clarification, but I thought WP:DYK said articles should be new? This article is over a month old, which doesn't seem to fall within the "5 days" criteria. Is there something I'm overlooking? I'm trying to get an article together for DYK and I just want to make sure I understand what I'm doing. - Sudo Ghost 17:58, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

It was moved from the editor's sandbox into Wikipedia mainspace on January 19. You can start an article in userspace, DYK 5 day count starts after it is formally moved to mainspace. Froggerlaura ^ribbit 20:42, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for that clarification, that's certainly good to know. - Sudo Ghost 22:40, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

I was able to verify the hook quote and the Mcgrath text. Everything looks good. Froggerlaura ^ribbit 05:36, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
