Hi Multumesc,

I'm with Kronckew on your item.
Its leaf-like shape was made almost identically from the Ancient Greek and Roman period right up to the rebirth of those old styles, the 15th/16th century Renaissance period - meaning a possible span of time of at lest 2,500 years!
Unless you have detailed information on the actual layer of earth the piece was excavated from, no definite dating would be justifiable, at least in my opinion.

Best,
Michael
