NPR's Throughline just did an episode on bronze artifacts stolen from Africa. The vast majority were originally created with bronze traded for slaves. It's a fascinating episode.

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.
