Statuette of a Lar, 1st century A.D. Additional Info: A male figure calmly steps forward with outstretched arms. He carries attributes that identify him as a Lar, a protective deity who watched over the Roman household. In his right hand, the youth carries a patera (offering bowl). A cornucopia (now missing), a symbol of prosperity and abundance, once rested on his left arm. He wears a short belted tunic, a cloak draped over one shoulder and caught in his belt, and open-toed boots. The ribbons of a wreath tied around his head fall forward over his shoulders.
