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.

When looking at artifacts like this, I can't help but wonder if that center jewel was originally set like that? And, if so, did someone make a comment to the jeweler like, "Ishtar's tits Bob, the King is going to be wearing this. Could you at least get the front gem, the one everyone is going to see, straight?"
