Description

Thomas Becket (from a window of Canterbury cathedral)

This is in fact not a medieval representation of Thomas Becket but a fabrication by Samuel Caldwell Jr, dating from 1919. It is part of window nVII in the Trinity Chapel Ambulatory of en:Canterbury Cathedral, most, if not all of which, dates to 1949, designed in a convincingly medieval style by Calwell Jr. The panel is made up from some fragments of medieval glass and much modern glass painted and acid-etched to look ancient. While the head is a medieval piece dating to the late 12th or early 13th century, its provenance is unclear and it is highly unlikely that it shows Thomas Becket.

Caldwell Jr was Canterbury Cathedral's stained glass restorer during the first half of the 20th century. He had at his disposal a large number of fragments of medieval glass, and he used those in several places (e.g. the North Oculus window in the northern transept of Canterbury Cathedral) to fill gaps in the medieval windows, or - as in the panel above - to fabricate convincing fakes.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The original image comprising the work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.

Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.

Under United States copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright work may not be protected under U.S.copyright law. This photograph was taken in the U.S. or in another country where a similar rule applies (for a list of allowable countries, see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag#Country-specific rules).
This photographic reproduction is therefore also in the public domain.
