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.

Curious about the pattern on the front edge of those hanging side pieces. The topmost dent I imagine would be there to prevent impeding one's peripheral vision. But the lower dents?
It's for the mouth. It's difficult to see, but they're a bit curved and there are small holes at the bottom for straps to tie them together close to the face.
Ah ha, okay, gotcha. Makes sense, thanks!
