    Historians: That must be a very important guy; look how intricate the carving is.
    “important guy”: is toupee or hat mannequin.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world
