Jean-Fred,
That is an interesting example. In Wikidata terms this is of course a
composite object. I would then describe it in two items, the parchment and
the seal, where the seal is part of the parchment. I can understand that on
Commons you might feel it's overkill to have two images, but for someone
doing a quick comparison of seals it may be nice to make a derivative image
and rotate the image to straighten it out. Maybe there already is one, in
which case the Wikidata "has part" property would be associated with the
commons "gallery of one" inclusion under the "other versions" field.

Hi Lizzy,
Thank you for your work !
Formatting it like
{{size|cm|height=379.5}} {{size|cm|width=453.5}} {{weight|kg|337}}
seems like the most logical course, if you're not sure all the units
for height/width will be the same.
Thats a great solution! Thanks!
Tangentially to that: for a while now I was playing with the idea of
adding an extra parameter to {{size}}.
For media like <

I had dimensions for the piece of parchment and the seal. I was thinking of
something like {{Size|unit=cm|diameter=9|part=seal}}. Would that be useful
in your opinions ?
