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 !historyruins@lemmy.world

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

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

It looks like it had its horns shaved off hellboy style

It seems almost deliberate. I always wonder about the stories behind details like that!

If I had to guess I'd say it might date back to some practice involving rams or elk or horned cattle since ðat's what dragon and devil horns are based on
