No FoP in the US for this kind of artwork. Guanaco (talk) 04:03, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Image is a logo of Community of Christ: an example of bronze plaques, from a master mold once held by the headquarters of the religious denomination, and used historically on its buildings, e.g.: on this building from a Nauvoo, IL historical site, on this church in Independence, MO link), on this church in Modesto, CA (photo of bronze seal is superimposed as background on photo of chapel) etc. Notice that the bronze reliefs are all exactly identical.This plaque from the church in Grand Valley, Ontario, built in 1924, is identical except the photo is taken from directly from the front rather than from slightly angled to one side.

Keep. I'm convinced that such a plaque was published before 1923. Guanaco (talk) 00:36, 1 September 2017 (UTC)- Keep. Copyright protection may be available if the artwork of the symbol in question contains sufficient creativity nevertheless this specific design has been reproduced any number times rendering it very common (on steeples and exterior church walls, church legal documents, baptismal and evangelist blessings, often on headstones and lapel pins, jewellery, books, bookends, plush toys, bumper stickers, and so on); and, in any case (in agreement with the !voter immediately above), its specific arrangement of the-lamb-&-the-lion-along-with-a-human-child design has been used by the denomination to identify itself since 1917: citations: http://www.ijmsonline.org/archives/3342
