New enough, long enough. Offline source accepted per AGF. Both hooks are interesting, and are supported by inline sources. Image is appropriately licensed. QPQ done. Earwig's copyvio detector comes up with only minor similarities which seem acceptable given the limited number of ways you can say "protogothic features or Scandinavian early protogothic script".
