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.

I confess that I'm not certain, but both novelty kitchen utensils and novelty pastries in various shapes are known in Roman cooking, so my best guess would be for something of that type.

I wondered if they would cook rabbits in it, so the shape would hold up

Rabbits were associated with fertility and abundance and new life/spring. So likely just a pastry mold for rituals.

Ancient Roman chocolate Easter bunnies confirmed.
