Historical Artifacts

1302 readers

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 !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

How would you even hold that thing?

Probably not meant for actual use, though.

Yea, definitely not designed for actual use. Probably just want to hang it on your wall or something.

a link (on the reference page posted by !PugJesus@lemmy.world) to a similar dagger shows an acceptable handle
