Ancient Orb is a currency item that can be used to reforge a unique item as another of the same item class in the broader sense of the term, such as "flask" instead of life/mana/hybrid/utility flask.[1]
Item acquisition
Ancient Orb has restrictions on where or how it can drop. Drops from Harbingers or Harbinger-related rewards.

Spending
Reforging a unique item means the base item type can change when the orb is applied. Ancient Orbs do not change the inventory size of an item, so 2x4-sized "tower shields" for example stay within that group[2].
Notably, unique items specific to past temporary leagues, such as HeadhunterHeadhunter
Leather BeltRequires Level 40+(25-40) to maximum Life+(40-55) to Strength
+(40-55) to Dexterity
+(50-60) to maximum Life
(20-30)% increased Damage with Hits against Rare monsters
When you Kill a Rare monster, you gain its Modifiers for 60 seconds"A man's soul rules from a cavern of bone, learns and
judges through flesh-born windows. The heart is meat.
The head is where the Man is."
- Lavianga, Advisor to Kaom can be obtained with an Ancient Orb only while standing in a map to which the appropriate league's mod has been added with Zana's Map Device.
According to player video, it is uncertain the result of using the orb is restricted by the item level of the original item or not.
It is worth noting that using Ancient Orb will remove any Shaper, or Elder influence, as well as remove any enchantments from the item.
