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.

they may be light too, depending on the wood they're made from

i see wood, but the image is blurry. maybe they are rusty iron?

Wood in this case - ironworking wouldn't become widespread in the region for some time.
