Historical Artifacts

1340 readers

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.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Looks like a hat from Dark Souls

My dumb ass didn't see the community & thought this was a sombrero spaceship ๐Ÿคฆ

Serious question: was this ceremonial only, or supposed to be used in battle? Seems like unfit for actual battle?

If it was effective in battle the title would read "Kurdish shield, Kurdistan"
