Shears, Roman Period, A.D. 2nd century perhaps, From Turkey, Anatolia; Possibly from Trabzon, Bronze or copper alloy, silver, black copper (?), Height: 9 5/16 in. (23.7 cm), This piece is remarkable for its rich inlays. Both sides of each blade are decorated with three registers of figures. Whoever created the design clearly had a sense of humor; when the shears are closed, the top register brings a dog face-to-face with a cat on one side and a lion on the other
