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]

That's really impressive, for a couple seconds I thought it was body paint
It really is fantastic, I thought it was a re-enactor or the like from the thumbnail. I don't think I've ever seen any ancient statue like it.
Lack of hair makes it more realistic. Hair has always been difficult to recreate in art.
Notice how there are no eyebrows or eyelashes either.
Those black ridges over the eyes kind of give the illusion of eyelashes with eyeliner though
