cma-greek-roman-art: Patera Support: Lasa, 300-175 BC, Cleveland Museum of Art: Greek and Roman ArtBecause the Etruscans have left us few written records, we do not know exactly who or what a Lasa was, or even whether she was a major or minor deity. Unlike early Etruscan statuettes, which seem very flat and emphasize pattern, this female twists and turns in a spiral like Hellenistic Greek figures. She was originally the handle-stand of an offering dish. Size: Overall: 21.6 cm (8 ½ in.)Medium: bronze with silver inlayshttps://clevelandart.org/art/1947.68 -- source link
