Either "artifact" or "antique."
Relic: An object having interest by reason of its age or its association with the past .
Artifact: A handmade object, as a tool, or the remains of one, as a shard of pottery, characteristic of an earlier time or cultural stage, esp. such an object found at an archaeological excavation.
Antique: Of or belonging to the past; not modern.
I personally find it to be more synonymous with "artifact," as I think of relics and artifacts being thousands of years old, whereas an antique might only be a couple of decades old.
But, it's really just a matter of opinion. Either would work, by definition.

I'd go with "antiquity." To me "relic" implies something more than just an antique... it implies something extremely rare or old or from a different culture.
