    I’m pretty sure that’s a dog’s face in the center of it. Specifically a doge face. I’m not even a Muslim, a culture notorious for their lack of faces in art design, and I’m kind of disturbed that there’s a face there.

      Sounds like you’re experiencing pareidolia.

        Islam has very strict rules about art that can cause pareidolia.
        But, regardless, there is clearly a face in the center of that even if it’s pareidolia.

    All of this soldier’s friends: “C’mon man, at least pay for an etching of heraldry or something in the middle.”

    This soldier: “Ich bin doch kein Krösus!”

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.
