Historical Artifacts

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.

Hmm ... Makes some sense. I'd wondered about flies. That's what I was taught the pall (placard that goes over the chalice in the western rites) was for, to keep bird shit and flies out of the chalice while the prayers were being said.
