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.

this is carved!
found on a gallery posted by pug under another post : https://www.galeriedelalande.fr/curiosites-naturelles-wunderkammer/memento-mori-17eme-siecle-dexv7
From the website:
longueur de 3,5 cm x profondeur de 5 cm x hauteur de 3,7 cm.
Insane amount of detail for those dimensions. And no dremmels back then, damn!
It's always insane the level of accuracy put into these memento mori style skulls.
