Historical Artifacts

476 readers
125 users here now

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

Not very well, to be honest

I hope they functioned in some fashion. This is some Warhammer stuff right here.

My guess was for tertiary phase syphilitic rich people when the nose deformities became too distracting at social events.

Edit: just saw OP's link and the description said that was indeed one of the applications. Well, nothing about social events.
