Looking at this photo file requires you to save it, and I do not have
the space to save a temporary file at this time.  Can you set this up so
the viewing program does not require you to save it to your computer?

Mark,

Am I correct in saying that the number of stars on the artifact is 20?
If this refers to state admission then Indiana was the 20th state
admitted to the union (Illinois was the 21st).  That's all I've come up
with so far.
