Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article to further understand the iconography on Ancient Egyptian maces. My impression of the article is that it clearly provides description and mentions other relevant artifacts.

The lead sentence is clear and concise, and quickly puts it into a timeline. It is a quick summary of the article that follows.

The content goes into more detail, not just providing a description but also the history of its discovery. The content appears up to date. The article mentions what happened to the article and when within proper context.

The tone of the article is neutral and not making an argument. There are no main viewpoints being pushed onto the reader. The article mentions there are viewpoints that differ but does not discuss what these viewpoints are.

All facts are backed up by a reliable secondary source. The sources are not very current, and do not include historically marginalized authors where possible. However these authors are cited in many other related works, so this adds to credibility.

The images have a clear description that emulates the lead sentence and is clear.

The talk page is not active, but there was a recent edit for spelling, and other edits seem to be about formatting as well. It is related to two low-important WikiProjects.

The status of the article is "Start Class". This may be because the article doesn't include a lot of information, but it also doesn't appear that there is more information available as the artifact is lost. The only thing I see that could be changed is the date in the caption of the image says "1910/11" instead of "1910-11", and it should use the hyphen because it refers to a season.
