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.

“You remember what a Polar Bear looks like, right?”

“Oh yeah, don’t worry about it.”

I have a feeling, those who got close enough to see the details, didn't get a chance to sculpt.

In the artist's defense, they'd only just returned from an expo w/ some illuminated text scribes, so 💁🏽‍♂️
