| Low resolution? |
This is a very small image and certainly does not replace any functions of the actual stone, which is so "high-res" that you'd have to use a microscope to read all of it. |
| Purpose of use |
To illustrate the article about this subject. The article would be incomplete without a visual depiction. |
| Replaceable? |
Low. Only a few rosetta disks exist, and most of those are privately owned or kept by the rosetta project itself. In any event, a photograph taken by a third party would be pretty much identical to this one. |
