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]

Is there an article that explains what material was used? Is that red sphere-oid made of glass?

Sorry! Normally I post the source, but I spaced on this one. Just posted it! Source says:

Copper alloy, partial gilt, stone or glass paste cabochon
