In this short video, the narrator introduces trench art—artistic objects created within a military context by locals, soldiers, or prisoners of war. He showcases two large World War II artillery shell casings made in Italy around 1944, each 105 mm in caliber. The pieces exemplify trench art due to their size and origin, and the narrator notes that such items can sell for a few hundred dollars, with the largest fetching thousands.

So here we have a couple of great examples of what we call trench art. Trench art is basically things that were built in the military as art pieces. Sometimes these were done by the locals, the military people themselves, prisoners of war. It could be anybody. Now, these are really cool because they're large. These were World War II, 1945, made in Italy. These are huge artillery shell casings. And these things were, I believe, from 1944, 105 millimeter, very large pieces. These are great examples of trench art, and these things can go a few hundred dollars. Some of the larger pieces can go into the thousands for the really big pieces. Great examples.
