For the Sistine chapel do you think it would be better to find a large image of a certain portion or scenes and then have them edited together (so no wall is shown and nothing is covered up by the content space). Yeah, that sounds good. Like I said, I couldn't find a flat image larger than the one I linked. Obviously, if you can find a bigger one, that would be better for cropping out specific sections.

For the scroll do you think a brown (with a darker tint) would fit well with the background of the wiki? Do you think the scroll should be rolled (visible rolls of the scroll) or do you think flat would be better? I do think a brown scroll would look good. As for the scroll rolls being visible or not, I think it will depend on the available size and quality of images that can be found. After looking at various images and checking their biggest available sizes, it seems that it's much harder to find a good, large image of the whole scroll. The best one I could find is this one, which isn't great.

When I did a search for "dead sea scrolls", I saw a few possible larger images that do not show the scroll rolls, such as this one.

Should the scroll occupy the entire background, leaving no extra space for background color or not? I think it depends on which type of image is used. If using an image with the scroll rolls (with the actual scroll cropped from its original background and made transparent), there will certainly be some visible background area around the edges of the scroll.

On the flip side, if using an image with just the flat part of the scroll, and if the image is large enough, I think it would be good to fill the background area as much as possible, with a fade on the sides and bottom to prevent any hard edges being seen, similar to the current background.
