Site information

Terms of use

By using Glyph & Ground, you acknowledge that the site provides general educational material rather than professional or institutional advice.

Educational scope

The articles support visual observation and source-aware note-taking. They are not translations, transliterations, archaeological reports, conservation instructions, authentication opinions, legal advice, ticketing information or guided services. Consult the responsible institution or an appropriately qualified specialist for decisions in those areas.

Accuracy and changing information

Care is taken to distinguish source data from observation, but object records, attributions, visitor access and site rules can change. Verify current information with the museum, monument, place of worship or authority responsible for the material before relying on it.

Visitor responsibility

Users are responsible for obeying barriers, photography policies, security instructions, worship practices and local law. Nothing on this site authorises touching an object, placing a scale, taking a rubbing, using flash, entering a closed area or disrupting visitors and worshippers.

Images and licences

Editorial text and page design are separate from third-party photographs. Each image is credited with its source and licence on the sources page. Reusing an image requires compliance with the original licence, including attribution and share-alike terms where applicable.

External websites

Links to collection records and source pages are provided for verification. Glyph & Ground does not control their availability, content or terms.

No commercial transaction

The site does not sell admission, tours, products, translations or access to monuments and collections. No order, booking or payment can be made through these static pages.
