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 picture makes it seem deceptively small since there's no sense of scale. 38 cm long (14 in) so about 1.2 bananas.

I think this might actually be a sculptors joke. Thats how horses stand when they piss. Also, when your horse is pissing, its decent to lean as far forward as you can to take the weight off their back legs, similar to how the rider is positioned.
