Patera Support: Lasa

Cleveland Museum of Art

The bronze sculpture titled "Patera Support: Lasa" by an unknown artist depicts a winged figure holding a patera. The figure has two large wings protruding from its back and is nude with long hair. The figure stands on the right leg while the left leg is bent and behind it. The figure holds the round patera above its head with both hands. The patera has a rope-like decoration around its rim and a green patina on it. The sculpture has a dark brown patina with green visible in spots. The base of the sculpture is square and ridged on the edges. The entire sculpture is on a gradient background that is dark at the top and light at the bottom.
