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.

Wow... that's an interesting situation. Encased in a wall, huh?

And what type of hanging mail was that meant to convey around his head, I wonder. Scale?

I believe it does, there is a statue of him with similar patterning over what would have been chainmail on his clothes in addition to the helmet.
