Bronze statuette of a Lar
Roman, 1st-2nd century AD

Accession # 19.192.3

The lar familiaris was a household deity that protected the members of the family, ensuring their health and prosperity. From the time of Augustus onward, the lararium (a small shrine found in every Roman house) contained two lares, each with the same attributes of a rhyton (drinking vessel) and patera (offering dish).
