Provenance : Ex Joseph Klein collection, New York, acquired between 1941 - 1980 The Roman statuette of a Lar represents one of the most common household deities in ancient Roman religion. Lares were protective spirits of the home and family, often associated with ancestors or local spirits of the land. Typically, these statuettes were placed in a family’s lararium, a small household shrine, and were central to daily rituals that invoked protection and prosperity. The figure of a Lar is usually depicted as a youthful male wearing a short tunic, often holding a cornucopia or a drinking horn, symbolizing abundance and well-being..
