Description
A patera is a shallow bowl used for rituals. Around the rim of the bowl is inscribed: ANIOVM (Shuthina, in reverse, meaning "sepulchral"), an inscription indicating the object was meant to be placed in a tomb. The handle is in the form of a muscular nude woman wearing a necklace and shoes who supports the edge of the bowl with her upraised arms. The ring below her feet is for suspension.
