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 the figure from behind is double-dog-daring the front one to do some stupid shit.

The British Museum says 16th-19th century for this piece. It's from the collection of Benin Bronzes looted from Benin City during the Benin Punitive Expedition of 1897.
