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.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world
Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
That one in the middle definitely was inspired by ~~some~~ adult toys.
FTFY
Oh, right. The truncheon. The truncheon for criminals, the truncheon chosen especially to beat criminals...
The third one is flanged for safety and tapered for easy insertion.
Constable Odo's staff was minimalistic, compared to these adorned ones.
All I see are punisher skulls
Some of these look like dildos.
I like the 3rd one from the top since it appears to be nicely weighted, and it can double as a dildo.
"I'll beat life itself out of you. But I'm going to do it with style."
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The bottom one is more like a stamp, to decorate criminals and general rapscallions with a damn good thrashing I presume.
