Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Just think some person did that clay figurine thinking, "I can't believe people buy my shit." And now two millennia later, there's a whole team of curators trying to ensure this thing doesn't just fall apart while they put it on display for millions to look at historic art.
