ID for Roman (?) artifact, please

(1/1)

Mayadigger:
Ave!

Another curious artifact, photos from a collector friend of mine.

He wrote: "11 CM, looks to have been gilded. I do not have a scale but it is solid bronze
from the black sea area, possibly Roman since it has the place for a shaft and
the hole to rivet it onto something."

Modern or ancient? Any thoughts?

SC:
Modern fantasy piece.

While I have not seen anything exactly like this it has all the hallmarks of the fakes and fantasies that proliferate out of Serbia and Bulgaria.
