  • This is why I propose "wears" as a subproperty of "uses". The "uses" property is too generic, and "wears" itself could apply to many items.--Pharos (talk) 21:01, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Much needed to describe what a depicted person is wearing in a painting, or the clothing associated with an occupation or profession. - PKM (talk) 19:05, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment We also need the inverse property "worn by" to place on the item or class of items when "owned by" doesn't apply. (For example, Three Brothers [a jewel] "worn by" James I "in" James I [portrait by John De Critz].) Can someone with more experience at it write up that property as well? - PKM (talk)
