The bed plate, covered with parallel slightly convex lines arranged crosswise, has long edges terminating in inwardly curled cylinders; shorter edges decorated with a row of small convex lines. A railing is attached to one long edge, mounted on four equidistant posts: two in the corners and two between them. Inside the headboard is a plastic decoration of two diagonally arranged volutes growing from the lower corners, highlighted by an arched line. 1st–2nd century Imperial Period, Roman Empire 27 BC–476, function: toy or amulet. Dimensions: height 2.1 cm, width 5.9 cm, depth 3 cm; weight 0.017 kg., A small metallic object resembling a low rectangular platform with rough, uneven surfaces and irregular edges sits on a smooth background. The platform has a textured top with visible ridges and pitted areas, and a raised section at one short end that appears slightly higher and contoured. Three slender, uneven legs with bumpy, organic shapes support the platform, one at the raised end, one near the opposite corner, and one along the long side; one corner lacks a visible leg. The object and the background are shades of gray and silver, with the object showing metallic silver highlights and darker gray shadows, while the background is a uniform medium gray.
