Roman bone fork - replica based on find from Cologne

This delicate Roman fork is a faithful reproduction of a rare find from Cologne dating from the 2nd-3rd century.

While most Romans ate with their fingers and spoons, forks are only sporadically attested archaeologically and are therefore considered special and exceptional pieces.

A rare detail of Roman dining culture - far removed from common everyday objects.

The original impresses with its slender shape and fine decoration at the transition from tines to handle. These characteristic features have been carefully incorporated into the reproduction, making the fork an authentic and elegant object.

A small, but impressive piece of Roman table culture.

Whether as a prop, collector's item or special detail in a display - this fork brings a piece of ancient life back to life.
