Pilgrim souvenir replica of a Church in Jerusalem with removable pieces for cutaway viewing, Ottoman Empire, 17th or 18th century AD

Funny how my silly ol’ brain thought of cutaway models as being a ‘modern’ thing, when the tech is so simple that they could be many thousands of years old, potentially.

I wonder how many other things like this that that we think of as being contemporary, but actually have ancient beginnings…
