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]

Woah, Egypt kinda had "tabi" socks too, I wonder if it was also shaped by they type of footwear popular at the time
Neat!
More likely comfort or even just to stay on. They didn’t have elastic and a large pocket might have rolled and not stayed put. Putting it between the toes secures it.
