This large, and remarkably well-preserved bronze patera (or offering dish), features a shallow concave bowl with square lip; a single oval loop handle attached to the bowl with three central ridges and curled ends.

Shallow bowls, such as this example, were used to pour libations, sacrifices of wine or other liquids.
