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.

1128-1928. That guy lived unexpectedly long.

The relief was made in 1928, commemorating 800th anniversary the Battle of São Mamede, which Henriques won and is considered an important milestone in Portugese independence from Spain.

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?
