Culture: Roman
Department: Vessels
Institution: Getty Museum

The interior and exterior of this bronze patera (shallow bowl) are undecorated, except for a series of concentric bands on the underside of the foot. The tip of the fluted handle is fashioned in the shape of a ram’s head. The attachment that affixed the handle below the rim is now partly missing (compare the similar patera with a dog’s head, [72.AC.134](https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/6984/)).
