Historical object (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relic

'historical object' is the definition.
(a relic is an ancient object)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for relic that I've seen before include "Old memento" , "Memorial of saint" , "(Holy) remains" , "Left over item, sometimes sacred" , "Surviving ancient custom" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Telegraph.
