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.

Am I dumb, it looks like an orb?

Does it have a lid?

Edit: I guess it's displayed upside down

Bottom is displayed so the decoration can be seen in full
