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]

The rest of the outfit not so much

Looks like they're basically moccasins. Comfy in the right context but basically no support. They would need replaced frequently too...often enough that I wouldn't be surprised if common people did repairs themselves.
