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

Why does it have teeth?
Aaahhhh...
Gilded copper ue-ba (teeth) and a striking bristle kuchihige (moustache) are distinctive features of this mask and provide a confident and handsome visual.
Except still what?
I miss your explanations pug jesus. I read the link but please share your insights on who the Ryby and Ressei men are.
Unfortunately, I only have a very shallow understanding of Edo period Japan! A lot of these things I share because I find them interesting on a surface level, but have no deeper insight into the history of them, sadly!
lol fam's got other stuff to do no doubt. I'm just glad they post as much as they do.
