    You can’t fool us! That’s not ivory, it’s a carved and slightly oxidized potato!

    I want to say it was a goblin riding mighty Grond, on the way to the gates of Minas Tirith.

    Was there context that led them to conclude polar bear? I would never have gotten that from this 😅

      Legs?

      I was thinking that they wouldn’t have a great idea what polar bear faces looked like because they would have avoided getting close to them for the most part.

        I mean maybe, but they’re not the only four legged animal around 🤷‍♂️

    I think the coca cola polar bears are cuter.

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.
