Historical Artifacts

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.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]

Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]

Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

I've found my new coffee mug! Owl with the Trogdor arm and consummate speckling. 😁

Owl people are real. This is confirmation. We once shared the world with bird people.

That's its wing, not a shield.

The shield is partly visible on the right side, wrapping around the vessel and out of sight
