Historical Artifacts

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 [email protected]

Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]

Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

Motive for changing faces is understandable, but why put effort into removing that vase thing she’s holding?

Looks like they made her hand thinner, so maybe they found it more appealing to remove it altogether rather than try to make it work together?
