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.

IIRC, horns are keratin and antlers are bone. ☝🏼

Interesting. What else can you tell us about Unicorn physiology?

Pretty horny from top to bottom, and all the switches between. 💁🏽‍♀️
